I have a Kindle Voyage, Firmware 5.13.6 which I want to jailbreak.
I thought it had worked this morning but at end koreader wouldn't launch despite the jail break seemed successful.

So reset my kindle to its factory setting and set it up again. And now when after I installed the winterbreak and want to move on to hotfix (which asks me to) and I add the file "Update_hotfix_universal.bin" to my kindled as per instructions, I can't update the kindle no matter how often I try.

I follow all the steps and can't explain why it wouldn't work. However, one thing that is weird is, that I have a file called "kindle feedback" on my kindle now and it won't disappear even after the factory reset. I did not have this before and can't delete it...


Maybe someone has an idea why I can't update and run the hotfix

Thank you.
All I can think of is that you renamed the OTA binaries to disable them and never re-enabled them before the factory reset. That would block updates from being installed.

If you installed a hf version of KOReader, you need to be on firmware 5.16.3 or higher.
