KUAL won't launch on my Oasis after update

motorvision · 10-03-2023, 10:22 AM

I jailbroke my Oasis last fall and never had any issues. I generally keep it on airplane mode, so I'm not sure how it updated (maybe when I connected it to my laptop to sideload a book). Last week, when I tried to open Koreader, I got an "Application Error" message saying that it can't be started. All of my notes/files are still on the Kindle, but the app itself won't work (when I select KUAL from my menu it won't load at all). If I restart my Kindle, it still says "Jailbreak" on the loading screen. I've tried a few different things but nothing has worked

Any ideas on how I can fix this would be appreciated. I'd rather avoid having to wipe it clean, but I do have all of my files backed up if need be

What's the firmware version?
If 5.16.3 that's the end, jb cannot be restored.

If not, try

It's 5.16.3 unfortunately. I had a feeling that might be it

Do you think there'll be a new JB out anytime soon for this?
