Edit: It looked like the JB took as I can now launch KUAL after updating to 5.8.2.

Hey all.

So since I found out that a jailbreak was available for the current Kindles, I decided to buy a Voyage in order to jb it so I could sync my collections from Calibre with the new Kindle.

My original FW was 5.8.2.0 on the Voyage. I used the instructions in Post 1 plus the lifehacker article (http://lifehacker.com/how-to-jailbre...dle-1783864074).

I was able to downgrade the FW to 5.5.0 and the jailbreak seemed to take. The book 'you are jailbroken' appeared. I was also able to install the hotfix. I have NOT updated the FW. If it's not absolutely necessary, I don't want to update the FW.

I also followed the instructions for installing KUAL (including the Mobilread Kindlet Kit as per the 'KUAL readme')+ MRPI.

My problem is KUAL fails to launch. I get the following message "The selected application could not be started. Please try again."

Maybe the JB didn't take? What should I try?

TIA.
