Kindle 90C6 no KUAL and should I update?

Tony556 · 02-06-2019, 10:48 PM

Hello!

I got a Kindle 90C6 (KT2/Basic) from a thrift shop today running firmware 5.9.6.1.

I followed this guide

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=267541

But KUAL does not show up when placed in the documents folder.

Should I try again with this guide after a factory reset?

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/5_x_Jailbreak

And after I get all this done, should I let it update with the newest FW?

EDIT: running ;log mrpi in the search bar shows the "Hush little baby..." message, so my JB was somewhat successful

Plus I still have root unlocked

Edit again: Got it! Ran the bin in the mrpackages

But my question about updating still stands, should I?

Why are you following directions for much older Kindles than the one you have?
That sounds risky.

1) Which KUAL?
Not the one you drop into /documents, instead use the one that you must use MrPI to install.
HINT: Everything EXCEPT the "HotFix" must be installed with MrPI.
2) I don't read where you installed the "HotFix" - do that NOW - it is what makes your jail break persistent.
ONLY AFTER (2) ABOVE:
3) You must install one of the customer-build firmware images from Amazon, even if the same version number as a factory-build.
None of our add-ins (other than the jail break) are intended to be used with firmware built for the factory to use during Q.A. testing.
The version number is your choice, they are all still on the Amazon server.
