I'm trying to use Kubrick with a Kindle Touch, and I'm encountering the "No Java" error when starting up.

What's odd is that I used it somewhat successfully less than three months ago with a Kindle Keyboard. ("Somewhat" because Kubrick would run, but I could never get the K3 into the USB Downloader mode.) I don't know for sure that I'm using the same USB drive, but I'm using the same kind of USB drive (8 GB Sandisk drives that date back to the mid 2000s), the same desktop (Dell Inspiron 660s), and the same usb-base-img. I had used the K3 image, so I've obviously had to change that, but neither the K4/5 nor the K3/4/5 images work. They both give the same error.

Any suggestions would be welcome. I've tried burning discs and different computers with no luck, but the lack of success in nearly the same environment is really puzzling to me.

Thanks for the help!
