I was able to activate the jailbreak (JB), however, I'm facing some issues proceeding with the next installations. I have a Paperwhite 12th gen (PW6) with firmware 5.18.5.0.1.

I've read that newer models only appear as MTP devices instead of UMS when plugged in via USB.

Therefore, when following the instructions for re-enabling the Store (https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaki...ling-the-store) and installing KOReader (https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaki...lling-koreader), I'm unable to proceed.

Does anyone know what I can do to solve this?
