ssholloway · 08-12-2015, 12:49 PM

PW2 (90D4) running FW 5.4.2 with JB 1.14.N (Nov 29, 2014 timestamp), KUAL 2.5 (Nov 25, 2014 timestamp) and MRPI 1.5.N (Feb 12, 2015 timestamp). Backdoor lock was working so manually downloaded 5.6.5 and updated. Uploaded linkss and python bins into mrpackages directory, started KUAL, selected "Install MR Packages", got "Launching the MR Installer" message and then . . . crashed out of KUAL. KUAL log says

./bin/mrinstaller.sh: line 686: can't create /dev/console: Permission denied
./bin/mrinstaller.sh: line 686: can't create /dev/console: Permission denied

Hmmm. Bins still in mrpackages and no mrinstaller error log that I could find. Let's try using current KUAL, helper, MRPI, linkss and python snapshots. No joy. Same error.

OK, maybe JB got crunched in 5.6.5 update. Won't hurt to try JailBreak-1.14.N-FW-5.6.x-hotfix. Uploaded Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin (July 17, 2015 timestamp) to PW2, ejected and immediately got the message

An invalid update file has been loaded on your device. Please go to [long URL] or contact Amazon . . .

Not that I had great hopes but it would have been nice if it had worked.

Any suggestions? I'm on a Mac so I can do Unix commands through terminal but USBNet is also not working through KUAL (KUAL log says "can't create /dev/console: Permission denied" error at line 40 several times) and ;un in search box doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks.
