Question how to (safe) update
Hi,

thanks for maintaining the tools to make kindles more open.

I have a PW2, jailbroken two years before and had KUAL running. I have not upgraded its firmware since 5.4.2 as it was not JB safe those days and did not use it. I have decided to use it again, and just have read that JB is working again, so updated JB (Kindle Touch/PW1/PW2 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 JailBreak. Plus FW 5.x USBNetwork: kindle-jailbreak-1.14.N, kindle-usbnet-0.21.N) and KUAL (2.7), installed MRPI (1.6.N), k5_rescue_pack_20150705, Coward's Rescue Pack Addon (crpa_2)
Code:
;log mrpi
does not work, knc1 states in this post:
Quote:
If the KUAL 'install mrpackages' button works but the ;log mrpi command does not work, then the JB survival code is missing or damaged.
Questions:
  1. Have I missed installing/updating something necessary?
  2. Which is the recommended software version to use? (Is there anything against using the latest, v5.8.7?)
  3. How to update safely? Copying update_kindle_paperwhite_v2_5.8.7.bin to mrpackages and have MRPI install it?
