tested on my device: kpw4 5.17.1.03 and k8 5.16.2

I failed a lot when following the official instruction. My experience might be helpful to others have same situation. Experience from user on #142 might be helpful, plug in or restart device with the screen stay at shop page.

-delete ".active_content_sandbox/store/resource/LocalStorage" or replace the whole ".active_content_sandbox" file

-unplug and restart (don't need to turn on flight mode)

-(Be careful) after restarting, wait the wifi connecting. When the wifi logo at the up right corner shows, press the shop button IMMEDIATELY!!!

Then it goes into WinterBreak page. I tried this for several times and succeeded. I guess in official instruction, wifi connection cost too long time in shop page (maybe also affected by my poor internet connecting). So it's better to get in the shop when the wifi is just connected.

**For koreader on my kpw4 5.17.1.03, only Marek's Builds works (even the files has same name and No. series from nightly builds website didn't work).
