Hi guys.
I'm experiencing some issues with this jailbreak. I had a pw2 (9017) running firmware version 5.7.0.1 (I think) and used the now downgrade to go back to 5.4.3.2. I then tried to install KUAL using the ".azw3 in documents folder" method, which didn't work, all I got was "application can't run" or something of the sort. Then I installed it using the bin file and it worked, allowing me to run the jailbreak and screensaver hack.
I would have been happy to stay on 5.4.3.2, but for some reason I couldn't connect to the internet and download my books from cloud. It did connect to wifi and seemed to be working, but whenever I hit the sync items button it would show "connecting" in the top left and then do nothing.
So, seeing that the jailbreak can survive the update to 5.8.8 I went to amazon and downloaded the newest firmware version. I tried running it from the KUAL MR Package Installer but it didn't work, so I did it from the root folder of the kindle instead. Now I am running firmware 5.8.8, but the Jailbreak didn't seem to have survived the update for some reason. Not only is the screensaver hack disabled, I also can't run KUAL anymore.
Does anyone have an idea of what I did wrong?
Should I try doing the entire jailbreak process from the start or am I just missing something and it is an easy fix?
