and i manage to apply the jailbreak.

I can see a log file in my kindle with the following:

It was the chinese all along.

Updated permissions for new squashfs keystore

Enabled mntus exec flag
Finished installing jailbreak!
i try to install the hotfix.
specifically version:
LanguageBreak-16.11.23 // Update_hotfix_languagebreak-en-US.bin

the latest on github.

Unfortunately, I get the message

here are the files i see in my explorer:

Code:
.active_content_sandbox
.demo
amazon-cover-bug
audible
documents
fonts
voice
driveinfo.calibre
._metadata.calibre
._driveinfo.calibre
Update_hotfix_languagebreak-en-US.bin
languagebreak_log
LanguageBreakRan
jb
DONT_CHECK_BATTERY
it seems like a few other people ran into the same issue, but noone mentioned how they resolved it.

Any ideas welcome!

Best,
Niko
I'm not an expert but it looks like your stuck in demo/managed mode.

The following instructions from language break should help.

### Unregistered kindle
1. Enter `;demo` into the search bar
2. Press the right button
3. The device will say that its "entering demo", but will actually reset into normal mode in English
4. After this check if you have an mkk folder on your kindle - if it's missing reinstall then hotfix and have fun

### Registered kindle
1. Enter `;enter_demo` into the search bar
2. Reboot your device
3. The device will be in full demo mode so do the setup without wifi and with random values
4. Do the secret gesture to get into the kindle UI
5. Enter `;demo` into the search bar
6. Choose `Resell device` and press `Resell/Yes`
7. The device will actually reset into normal mode in English
4. After this check if you have an mkk folder on your kindle - if it's missing reinstall then hotfix and have fun


Good luck.
