I had KMS 8 + the 2c patch on my KA1 with firmware 4.2.8110. Things were working fine at this point. I then updated to the 4c patch for KMS, but afterwards, when KMS started Nickel, all I saw was the beginning of the marching dots after which the screen turned black (needed a hard power down to restart with KSM).

Thinking that the 4c patch was meant for the latest firmware and that maybe that's why Nickel didn't work, I updated to 4.2.8432 from within KMS (by dragging the .tgz file into .kobo). Starting Nickel, I had the same result as before.

I then reinstalled the 4c patch, but still no luck starting Nickel. Version 775 of KOReader (a nightly snapshot) was working before all this and still seems to work.

Would you have any advice @tshering?
