I have recently upgraded my Kindle PW2 to the latest firmware, having previously kept it backdoor-locked for a little over two years now (I'm starting uni soon, and I want the device to have the latest security patches, conformant with the IT policy, before I go) . I tried hotfixing from the get-go, but it seemingly rejected the hotfix (deleted it before I had a chance to install it) - hence I resorted to hotfixing afterward.

So, after installing MRPI, I installed the update from the Amazon website over USB. KUAL initially complained of a lack of MKK, but started working after I installed the hotfix. kterm didn't work until I installed the version for the newer firmware.

Now trying mntroot gives me (between feedback from the script itself) "mount: only root can do that". su gives me "su: must be suid to work properly" which would seem to defeat the object somewhat, and whoami gives me "framework".

Is this expected or did I mess up somewhere?
