Step 1: Jailbreak Your Kindle

Instructions for Kindle 4 are here: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking#Jailbreak , earlier models are here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 (Image from http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/File:Kindle4NTdiagnostic.jpg, by Needsleep99, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike.)

Step 2: Install Usbnet

Download here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 Disclaimer: The readme for usbnet is intentionally minimal. Quote from the readme: "As always, it may void your warranty, eat your Kindle, kill a kitten, and sell your first born's soul to the devil. I *strongly* recommend having a proper Linux CLI sysadmin background before trying to use this, or you *WILL* probably end up messing your Kindle up.

Step 3: Add Cgi Scripts to Your Kindle

NOTE: files are available in steps 9 - 12 Put the file serverstart.sh in the root of your kindle (the mass storage drive which appears on the desktop, which maps to /mnt/us if using usbnet).

Step 4: Configure Busybox Httpd

Busybox httpd is the server we're going to be using. Put httpd.conf in /mnt/us/usbnet/etc If you want to allow non-local access to your kindle control scripts (not recommended), add the line A:* just above A:192.168.

Step 5: Find Your Kindle's Ip Address

On a kindle 4 NT, this is done by going to menu->settings. Then press and hold the keyboard button and press the right page forward button. This brings up the "711 page". The kindle's ip address is on the second page of this dialog. For other kindle models, search on http://www.mobileread.com/

Step 6: Start the Server, Finish the Instructable

If you have kite installed, start the serverstart.sh script from your kindle home screen. If not, use a terminal ( on mac os x, linux, PuTTY on Windows, or any of several terminal emulators for your mobile device) and type the command "ssh root@ (kindleipaddress) '/mnt/us/serverstart.sh' " (without double quotation marks, and replace (kindleipaddress) with your kindle's ip address (see step 5). Access the scripts by going to (kindleipaddress)/cgi-bin/f.cgi in your browser. You should see your kindle go forward one page! Click on "f" to go forwards, and "b" to go backwards. You're done!.

Step 7: Discussion, Extending the Hack

You can obviously edit "f.cgi" and "b.cgi" to suit your own needs. The main functional part of them is the last line "echo "send 104" > /proc/keypad" and "echo "send 109" > /proc/keypad". These simulate pressing the "page forward" and "page backward" buttons respectively (thanks to http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118480 #2).

Phalen Ward Private E-2

Does anyone know of any apps/programs that i can install on Kindle Fire's to remotely access them via PC or my Android phone. Reason being is that my children seem to think that they need to try and lock dad out of them, as well as sit on them non-stop when there are chores to be done.

Just Playin MajorGeek

I suspect his children have managed to evade them. I doubt any apps he might try will fare any better. At this point, I would recommend taking the tablets from their hands and not returning them until they are ready to comply with the rules. No amount of hacking and rooting will get around that.

Phalen Ward Private E-2

I was wanting something similar to team viewer so i could log in from my pc/phone and kill command it. I don't think Team Viewer is available on Kindle platforms though

Phalen Ward Private E-2

Oh no, I am more than willing and have snatched them outta the kids's hands, its just I want to be able to monitor interactions while they are in use. I am a firm believer of freedom until they prove they are not worthy of it.
