Can confirm having the renameotabin extension did not prevent the update from happening if you go online long enough for the update bin to get downloaded. I have a Paperwhite 5 (2021) that was on 5.15.1 and now force updated to 5.15.1.1.

After rebootinging twice, KUAL was not working, but I was able to see a **** JAILBREAK **** message at the bottom of the reboot screen sequence.

I then restored KUAL following the instructions here.

The updates downloaded from the snapshots thread:
- MR Package Installer | kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r18983.tar.xz | 2023-Jan-04 23:56:09
- K5 JailBreak Hotfix | JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip | 2023-Jan-04 23:53:15
- KUAL (coplate) | KUAL-ff4134d-20221017.tar.xz | 2023-Jan-04 23:52:23

I first updated MRPI. Then copied both Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.16.N_install.bin and Update_KUALBooklet_ff4134d_install.bin into the mrpackages folder. Run the ";log mrpi" command and the updates did their thing.

I also reinstalled the screensavers hack and koreader and both are working.
