Problem with KUAL

Ooonana · 01-07-2025, 03:46 AM

I have a problem with kindle pw4. I used winterbreak to jailbreak my kindle and installed mrpi and kual successfully. I ran kual and saw it works. Then i added removeorbit then made it to stop ota updates. I plugged in my kindle then i added alpne linux extension. Thats when the problem happens. When i tried to open the kual it shows application error. I tried uninstalling kual but when i entered ;log mrpi comand , nothing happens.. i tried a lot of times rebooting my kindle but nothing seems to work.

Did you run "Rename OTA" when you added that "renameotabin" extension?

Sounds like you got a firmware update?

This thread would be best in the WinterBreak thread as more people will see it.

No I haven’t got an it’s update… I don’t kindle is on the 5.17.0 and yes I did run rename its using renameotabin to stop ota update. But when the kindle restarted after pressing it and adding alpinelinux extension thei cannot run KUAL…

alpine linux extension and many others probably don't work properly after fw >=5.13.6 as new fw versions need hf binaries . Try removing extension files and reinstalling KUAL .

last option: If you installed hotfix before then try to enable OTA binaries first via KUAL or scriptlet from discord ( if you installed renameOTABin ) then reset and install hotfix again

this should give you a clean slate again but beware to check if extensions work with new fw or not before installing them

I can't restore ota binaries via KUAL. Could you tell me about this "scriptlet from discord"
