Hi, I just applied the Jailbreak and Hotfix (in this order) to my PW3. I got the "jailbreak successful" message in the Info bar. I then moved the hotfixe .bin file onto my kindle and ejected and disconnected my kindle. I was distracted by someone and wanted to check if I had but the .bin file onto my kindle, so I reconnected the kindle to the computer. However I didn't find the same .bin file in my root directory, The filename had changed (though the size of the re-named .bin file was identical, 62kb, to the hotfix file). At this point I debated deleting this new file, or leaving it be and simply updating the kindle. I chose the latter. Now Im not sure if the hotfix was applied or not.

questions:

1. Is there a way to check if the hotfix was successfully installed?
2. is there a step by step guide for installing KUAL specifically for PW3? (since the main thread speaks of first figuring out which model one has, but not how to go about installing KUAL after one figures this out. Quite possibly Im blind).

Thanks For your Time

Kindle information:

Serial Number: G090 G105 XXXX XXXX
Firmware vers: Kindle 5.6.5 (27030300038)
