hi,

I followed the instructions in this thread, and successfully installed a whole bunch of things. But now I've got a problem trying to install USB Networking (and at this point, I think any installer).

I successfully jailbroke my Kindle PW2 5.4.4.2 as follows:

- jailbroke with kindle-jailbreak-1.14.N
- blocked updates by creating update.bin.tmp.partial folder
- further blocked updates by installing update_backdoorlock_12_install.bin
- installed KUAL-v2.6.zip
- installed kual-helper-0.5.N
- installed k5_rescue_pack_20150705
- installed Arrow Coward's Rescue Pack Addon crpa_2.zip
- installed KPVBooklet (and since uninstalled it)- kindle-kpvbooklet-0.6.1
- installed KOReader
- installed Additional Menu Items for KUAL 2.1+, MR Package Installer (MRPI), GNU Awk Installer, and Kindle Menu with its pre-packaged extensions


Everything works well.

But now I want the screensaver hack and USB Networking...

I put the Update_usbnet_0.21.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3.bin at the root, but the Update your Kindle menu is not available.

Same thing with the Screensaver hack, installing the
Update_python_0.14.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3.bin
followed by the
Update_linkss_0.24.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3.bin
at the root... no Update menu...

I also tried adding them to the mrpackages folder and using the MRInstaller method, and it seems to be successful, I see it saying that it destroys the installer and now rebooting the UI...but then it never gets installed.

One thing I just noticed is that under KUAL > Helper+, the first option says "BEGIN Grayed Installer". I wonder if thats because I have an uninstalled item in mrpackages and it knows the Update your Kindle menu is grayed out? I am afraid to do that though, not sure if thats whats if for or why I am grayed out in the first place.

Any ideas? Thank you
