Hello all,

Apologies in advance if this has been asked already. I searched for an answer before registering but found no useful threads.

I've got a PW3 that I jailbroke a few years back, and I've been using KUAL and KOreader for EPUBs and the occasional PDF. Yesterday I took the Kindle off of airplane mode for the first time in a long time to browse books on the store. I accidentally left airplane mode off as I ran some errands and the device automatically updated to 5.13.4. As such I can no longer access KUAL. I tried working my way backwards on the jailbreak guide to see if I simply needed to reinstall KUAL or something small, but it seems the update may have removed my whole jailbreak.

From what I can gather these new updates require some sort of soldering job to jailbreak again. Am I SOL?

Thank you!
