Hello,

I usually try to find my way through reading the posts. But this time I can't get it to work

. I hope somebody can give me a step-by-step process, because the posts are all over the place with one hotfix there and another there, sometimes you guys speak a language I don't get, because I'm not that deep into the stuff, a stupid end user, so to speak

My situation looks like this:

I have successfully jailbroken my PW3 (judging by the file dates on the kindle in march 2016). Some, already really long, time ago I used Wi-Fi not remembering that the stupid Kindle will upgrade when I'm sleeping

.

It upgraded to 5.9.6.1, I hadn't had the nerves and time to upgrade the JB. I understood from the posts that you need a booklet version of KUAL. I have downloaded the KUAL-v2.7.zip. There is a file in it called Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7_install.bin I have put it inside the folder mrpackages and tried to run ";log mrpi". But nothing happened.

The bridge.conf says in the header:

Code:

version "$Id: bridge.conf 11202 2014-11-30 13:41:04Z NiLuJe $"

And the bridge.sh:

Code:

# $Id: bridge.sh 12841 2016-02-06 23:13:17Z NiLuJe $

MR Installer has the version 1.6.

I don't remember which JB I have used.

How to get back, so I can use Koreader again.

Cheers!

[Note]
It would be nice, if someone knowledgeable would write tutorials that explain the most cases, also a guide with all the tips that you only get by browsing and reading through old threads. "ALWAYS REMOVE THE USB CABLE BEFORE RESTARTING", "DON'T USE WIFI" etc. I stumpled upon a lot of these, but after the JB never thought again about them.
