Thumbs up [Solved!] Sideloaded .mobi from Calibre don't show up on Kindle Touch after 5.1.0

Hi
I've been lurking around this excellent forum for a couple of days without seeing an answer to my question, so I thought I'd try by posting a new thread.

First post so if you find my post offensive or other way disturbing feel free to move or delete.

As stated in the topic, sideloaded .mobi files from Calibre (or drag and dropped) don't show up in my Kindle touch after latest update, 5.1.0.

I've tried to remove the PDOC tag and reformat my .mobi files and resend them trough Calibre to the Kindle, without success.

What still works is to send the .mobi files as an email using Amazon. But I rather have the simple Calibre -> Kindle Touch via USB to work again.

The only thing I can think of is to rollback to previous firmware, when it worked, but don't have the faintest clue to do it or if it's even possible.


Anyone that have had the same problem as me?
Or anyone that have an solution to my problem?


Cheers

Edit. I did the Factory Reset as pidgeon92 suggested and that did the trick!

I just tested your issue, adding two old .mobi files I have (neither from Amazon) in Calibre. Both transferred the Kindle just fine, appearing on the first Menu page of the kIndle (most recent sort), with NEW tags, just as it should be.

I suggest restarting your Kindle. If that doesn't fix the problem, then a Factory Reset.
