I've setup the WinterBreak jailbreak on my 11th generation Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. I mostly followed https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/WinterBreak/, but due to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...5&postcount=11, I used the hotfix, MRPI, coversetter, and renameotpbin files from https://fw.notmarek.com/khf/ (I used the official KUAL+coplate, since the linked thread had an outdated one, and stated it hadn't been modified).

Everything was working, and I started installing the KUAL extensions https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030. After installing the Gawk binary, the Kindle returned to the homescreen. When I re-open KUAL, I get a blank white screen forever, and can't do anything except hold down the power button to reboot. I've tried restarting the Kindle, and uninstalling and reinstalling KUAL using ;log mrpi.

Does anyone know how I can either fix this or reinstall the original busybox awk?
