Dear forum,

I have a KT3 and used the excellent tools and guidance on this forum to jailbreak and install KUAL back at Xmas time. All worked well and I have been using it without issue since, but with WIFI disabled so no FW updates could occur (and I had no plans to ever update again).

However, the other day I turned on the WIFI to buy a book, forgetting about the auto-update, and Amazon pushed over the latest FW update. I only realised this was happening at some point during/after the install process, when my Kindle tried to restart but kept looping back (progress bar would reset), and eventually went to the "Your Kindle needs repairing" "Repair Code 2" screen.

I have been doing as much investigating as I can on possible solutions (e.g. Kubrick - seems great but only for older models), but I'm unclear if this is the end of the road for my Kindle or not. Can anyone offer any advice or at least "closure" so I can stop wasting more time and decide if I want to buy a new Kindle (unlikely).

Thank you
