?? You "Reset" it ??
If you did
reset it rather than just
restart it, you just wiped out the viral part of the jailbreak (the part which re-installs the jailbreak after an OTA update).
You really, really, should re-install that (follow directions for installing the "Hotfix" ).
And make a note of this second step in installing the jail break to begin with:

Spoiler:
- Make backup copies of the contents of /documents
You are about to wipe them all out, if you have them pushed to your Kindle's cloud, you should be covered.
You should not need copies of the contents of /system - the 'system' should re-build them for you.
- Do not copy the contents of /documents back to the Kindle until after you have returned to the same firmware version that you copied them from.
The indexer might go crazy if you try anything else than 'back to same place, with same version running'.
- You are about to lose all personalization of your kindle.
You can't reach that hidden directory they are stored in and it is this database that causes most of the problems, so it MUST go.
- Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Reset
Or whatever the path is on your current firmware version.
This is the infamous "Reset (to factory defaults)" menu choice, but in this case it is a requirement, a must use entry.
This is the ONLY TIME you should ever use the Reset menu entry in the lifetime of the device because it wipes out the jail break survival code that is about to be added in step 6 below.
NEVER AGAIN USE THE "Reset" MENU ENTRY.
Never, ever, unless you intended to wipe out the jailbreak survival code. Which you really, really, need.
If you should happen to trigger the "Reset" action by accident (nobody does it intentionally after reading the above), you can find a package on coplate's snapshots thread that will restore the jailbreak survival code you just destroyed.
The special purpose package linked above is placed in the root of visible USB storage and run using UYK menu entry. |
