There is a note in some readme that I read today, along with a link to fix.
Right, I fixed it with https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...31#post1747631 (needs some changes which are post #354 and some subsequent I can't find right now - it was just a zip with a shell updated script).

Since the hardware will still identify itself as a 2.something, just running 3.firmware is not always enough, you have to tweak the data entry so your 3.firmware knows its ok to run on a 2.something device.

or something like that.

I seem to recall that yifan.lu did make some of those data updates, but maybe he missed something related to the kf8.
Ah-ha! Any hint where those "data files" may be placed?
