The file 'update.bin.tmp.partial' is meant to stop amazon from updating you to 5.8.9.2, where this may not keep working.
I'm not knc1, but I dont understnad what you mean by step 3 item 12, looking back at knc1's post.
In the main jailbreak thread,
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877
Step 4 is to install the vulnerable Amazon OS
Step 5 is to install the actual jailbreak
Step 6 is to install the feature that lets the jailbreak stay after updates.
Step 7 is to update to a regular consumer firmware again.
The rest of the steps are things that are meant to help you understand what is happening, and to help prepare yourself and the device to get things in the right setup.
OK, I read back, and you are still talking about step 12 from the other site. This is step 8 in the first post I linked.

The other device models may use either the old or the new installation methods.
- Any of our after-market add-ins, with an update_*.bin format filename requires the use of the Mobileread Package Installer (MrPI).
- Get the MR Package Installer from the KUAL and KUAL extensions section of:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
- This is an "un-archive to top level of visible USB storage" package.
Be sure that the un-archive tool you use has options set to create directories.
- KOA and KT3 owners:
You must run the installer with your new, search bar command: ;log mrpi
Other models covered in this thread may do the same or may run it from KUAL.
- Nearly all of our after-market add-ins require an application launcher.
- Get the KUAL package from the KUAL and KUAL extensions section of:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
- Beginning with version 2.6.40 of the release, the archive contains three (3) different builds of KUAL.
The 'keyboard' version, the '(old) touchscreen' version, and the new 'KOA, KT3' version.
- This is not a substitute for reading the README.txt file included in the archive bundle, but ...
- KOA and KT3 owners:
You must use the update_*.bin format package of KUAL and you must use the MrPi installer to install it.
- Other devices:
The archive still contains the previous 'document' style of KUAL, used by just placing the (correct) KUAL document into the /documents folder of USB storage.
Note: The new (update_*.bin format KUAL) will run on all touchscreen devices running firmware 5.1.2 or newer.
- "Nearly all applications require an application launcher" - I was expecting someone to ask . . . .
KUAL is one of the applications that does not required an application launcher.
It has a mime type associated with it that tells the system how to run it, when it is selected.
These update_*.bin package name format packages must be re-installed after each firmware update.
The MrPI application can handle multiple update_*.bin packages at the same time, just put them all in /mrpackages and trigger MrPI.[/list] |
So I would say you need to do these
A. Confirm you have installed the "hotfix", using the instructions on this site from step 6, this will keep the jailbreak when you upgrade.
B. Update your kindle from 5.8.0 ( factory ) to one of the version in step 7 form the linked software jailbreak thread.
C. Install MRPI by extracting that tar file to the root of your kindle plugged in over usb.
D. In the search box type ';log mrpi'
E. Put the update_kual_bookelt.bin ( spelling not accurate ) into <kindle>\mrpackages
F: run again In the search box type ';log mrpi'
G-?: for this addon, now that you have KUAL installed, you can put the bin in <kindle>\mrpackages, and use the kual helper mrpi installer.
