I refuse to admit that it gives ANYONE BUT ME the right to change the said software... you dictator Amazon... but that is another story, excuse the rambling)
Of course, this attitude from Amazon prevent me to get any book from Amazon, unless of course I can control MY KINDLE. I downloaded the "renameotabin.zip" file, unpacked it and copied it in the extentions folder in my kindle...
KUAL now has a new "rename OTA binaries" entry. Inside it, I activated the Rename, the kindle rebooted...
I verified that both the *ota* files are renamed and the no *ota* process exists... I did get out of airplane mode, waited a few minutes, the folder named "update.bin.tmp.partial" was still a folder... So I synchronized the kindle with my account in Amazon, and it did so, but did not try to download any update.bin...
So A BIG THANKS for this. (needless to say, the kindle is back in airplane mode)

Hello !
Actually, I'm running Firmware 5.12.4 on "G090VB, Kindle Basic 3 (2019) Kids Edition, KT4, KT4KE" and I want to use wifi (for registered my Amazon's account and for send email with pdf/epub to my Kindle).
At this moment, i never use wifi (only airplane mode).
So, someone could help me please ?
For information, actually i already did this :
1) Jailbreak (with "kindlejailbreak")
2) Use "Jailbreak Hotfix"
3) Install "kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r18392.tar"
4) Then install "Update_KUALBooklet_44a61b6_install.bin"
And after that, like you said, i did this :
1) Download "renameotabin.zip"
2) Copy with my PC the folder "renameota" in the folder "extensions" of my Kindle
3) Launch on the Kindle the app "Kual", then "Rename OTA binaries" and then "Rename" (ps: because i do not sure to understand why we have a button "Restore").
4) Like you, my Kindle reboot just after I touch "Rename"
and finally....nothing for me !
In fact, before i use Wifi for the first time, someone can explain to me what does the end of the previous message of "lrpirlet" means please ?
PS: Because i do not see *ota* files, neither a " folder named 'update.bin.tmp.partial'" in my Kindle (and I do not want to loose the jailbreak)
Thank you very very much in advance for your help !
