Update for Kindle DX with Global Wireless (DX International)

Amazon just released a new Kindle DX which can now works outside the US using the GSM network.

It has a new device id and 3rd party packages written for the previous Kindle DX won't work.

It's really just a matter of repackaging them and the OS is virtually the same.

So I updated the packager to support this new device ; and repackaged the usbnetwork and screen saver hack package..

Packager (version 0.8):

USB network (version 0.11)

Screen saver (version 0.1)

  1. Hi Jean,

    Please kindly help to produce an update bin of usbnetwork for DXi firmware 2.5.

    I have upgrade my DXi to 2.5 but can not use the "Create New Collection" feature of 2.5, until I can register my DXi via whispernet (I live in Vietnam with no whispernet connection).

    I need to usbnetworking so that I can register it (either using reginfo file, or replacing the SIM + change the APN of the device).

    Your prompt support is much appreciated.

    Best regards
    Quan

  2. Jean,

    I really appreciate your initiative for creating this update package for USB network tethering.

    I have an Kindle DX 2 Graphite, with firmware 2.5.8. I tried to install the update usbnetwork23-0.11 (version DX and DXi).

    But I it was unsuccessfully. Those versions of usbnetwork should work with my device?

    It is possible to have an update of usbnetwork for the DX 2?

    Thank you for your attention!
