I am confused now. After turning off backdoor lock (KUAL extension) on my K5g, any update.bin package I copy to its userstore gets deleted immediately on USB eject. Grey in UYK, and missing even if plugged into computer immediately after USB eject. Any file names "update*.bin" goes missing. Firmware version 5.1.2, wifi+3g, s/n B00F***). I even copied USBnet.xml to update_junk.bin and it was gone after USB eject and insert.

Ideas? Of course, I could re-do kubrick on it. Does 5.1.2 really require MRpi installs?

EDIT: Hmm... I tried MRpi, but it said "destroying package" while running, and no evidence that my install.sh script ran (no log file on /mnt/sh, nor any eink animation). Ideas?
