I was unable to jailbreak a KV on firmware 5.13.6. Followed the procedure up to Step 7, get error message “Application Error the selected application could not be started. please try again.” Followed Step 8 and Step 9, the User Guide displays and the jb script apparently never runs. Device stays in demo mode and the only way out is the demo menu Resell Device option which does a factory reset.

So is there anything I can do to jailbreak, or is this a one try only procedure? Thanks in advance.
