PW4 Accidentally Updated jailbroken Kindle to 5.16.3

hydrate · 10-01-2023, 07:18 PM

As the title implies, I connected my kindle to wifi and inadvertently let it update from 5.14.2 to 5.16.3. The ***JAILBREAK*** text still appears when rebooting and ;log mrpi is somewhat functional but any package I attempt to install will result in the following error, in this case from the Hotfix.

Code:

**** **** **** ****

[2023-10-01 @ 11:39:55 -1100] :: [MRPI r18896] - Beginning the processing of package 'Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.16.N_install.bin' (jailbreak hotfix 1.16.N I) . . .


Failed to parse package 'Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.16.N_install.bin' (jailbreak hotfix 1.16.N I) [return code: 127], skipping . . . :(


KindleTool output:
env: can't execute '/mnt/us/extensions/MRInstaller/bin/PW2/kindletool': No such file or directory

(Yes kindletool is present there) Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm also experiencing this problem . It seems that the packages don't install properly on newer versions, I solved the problem by downgrading the firmware to 5.16.2.1.1 and reinstalling it.

FW >= 5.16.3 will (at the very least) require new binaries and dedicated packages.

Since none of these exist yet, I can't even tell you if that'll be enough.

TL;DR: Don't.
