fw upgraded, jailbreak lost
my pw2 was once successfully jailbroken, which was more than two years ago. recently, when i need to read some epub files, it showed wrong messages, and the book could not be opened. then i went to the setting, and found it had been upgraded to the latest version, 5.11.1, secretly !!!!
now every time after the reboot(i did't reset my kindle.), click kual for the first time, wrong messages would appear, but after that, kual can be opened, while it seems that it can't function. when i click "install mr packages", nothing happens. i tried runme.sh, and failed. does it mean that jailbreak is lost? are there any ways to jailbreak it again! How i regret that i didn't turn off wifi!!!!!!!! Last edited by ljswj; 04-26-2019 at 03:36 AM. |

You should install the hotfix as update
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=1597 then MR Package Installer https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030 and then booklet-KUAL via mrpi https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=304 |

That means that you have lost your jailbreak.

Did you put the hotfix file at the root directory of your Kindle? And then “update firmware” in the settings? Did you use the latest snapshots to install after using MRPI? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030 I myself have a PW2 and had success. And the kindlet for KUAL still works. I’ve never used the Booklet for my PW2. |
