The expected result.

That is what happens when you press the erase button.

I did not ask you to try, I told you to install it.
So install it.

Wrong.
There is no ";installHtml" function in customer firmware, only in the factory, production line testing firmware.

That is also wrong - there is no connection between our install_*.bin files and Amazon's (other than they use the same installer).

You can not install the factory, production line testing only, firmware build because that is blocked in versions > 5.8.7

You can not install an older customer firmware build because that has been blocked for several years now.

Install KUAL by un-archiving it in the proper place (sounds like you did that).

Install MrPI by un-archiving it in the proper place (sounds like you did not do that yet).
Once you do that, you will have a directory structure below /extensions and a /mrpackages directory.

Get the "hotfix" package (the one whose link is called the "survival code" in step #6.
Open the archive.
Put the "Update_*.bin" package in Kindle:/mrpackages
This "hotfix" package includes the developer keys that you erased, the ones required to make any of our applications work (including KUAL).

Now you are only one (well, two) commands away from fixing the screw-up . . . .
On the Kindle's command line, you need to execute:
Code:
cd /mnt/us/extensions/MRInstaller
sh ./bin/mrinstaller.sh
How you gain access to the Kindle's command line depends on what you had installed before this mess started.

Did you have USBnetworking installed?
Did you have kTerm installed?
Did you have Rescue Pack installed?
If yes, did you also have RP's optional extension Coward's Rescue Pack installed?

Mention anything else that you might have had installed before you broke it with "Reset" ("Erase").
