Can no longer launch KUAL
I jailbroke my PW (1) ages ago (maybe a year or two) and everything has been working fine. A few days ago, I started getting "This item is not signed by an authorized developer" messages when trying to launch KUAL.
I saw there were some KUAL-related updates but I have tried to install everything mentioned and I can't get anything to actually run/install. I replaced the KUAL azw3 file with a new one, but none of the .bin files will be recognized buy the kindle as an update. Can anyone tell me how I'm supposed to fix/update this? Do I need to start over and re-jailbreak, etc? Thanks! |

DAVE! Thank you! That worked! I owe you a beer!
I thought I had to update the certs, but nowhere did it tell me exactly how to do that. |

I have 2013 PW1. I download the Updated (April) Kual from Snapshot and placed the AZW2 to DOCUMENTS. I replaced the "developer.keystore" in MKK folder I downloaded "DevCerts-20250419-KeyStore" and placed the "k5-ALL" to MRPackage in the Paperwhite foot directory and ran ";log mrpi" but nothing is showing ... and by clicking KUAL it still said "This item is not signed by an authorized developer ..." I have also tried "k4-All" with the same result, ;log mrpi is not responding at all. Last edited by morrow; 04-23-2025 at 11:21 PM. |

Was MRPI working before this? Perhaps something happened to your JB. Were you protected against a firmware update? Check and see what firmware you are on to see if it has changed.
I would try installing the latest hotfix for your device and firmware and see if that helps. Beyond that I would check the posts regarding snapshots and KUAL at the top of the forum. I hope you can get things back into operation. Dave |

Last time I even touched MRPI was last October to install display book cover, so it should be working. It is a old Paperwhite 1st Gen, so it's forever stuck on 5.6. I tried the hotfix (placing the Bin file in mrpackage and search ;log mrpi) and showing nothing. Pressing enter simply return me to the home page. All the things I tried: 1. Download the newest KUAL from snapshot, place the azw2 file to DOCUMENTS 2. Replace the keystore in the MKK folder 3. Place the UPDATE_Booklet_*_Install bin file to mrpackage folder and tried ;log mrpi. 4. Place the UPDATE_BOOKLET_HOTFIX_*_Install bin file to mrpackage folder and tried ;log mrpi. |

Have you tried placing one of the *_Install.bin files in the root of your Kindle and then seeing if they show as an update?

Could you specify which zipfile and where I can find the updated keystore ?
Thanks |

Hey folks, facing the same issue here. In my case I'm jailbreaking my devise for the first time.
Devise: Kindle PaperWhite Wifi - B024 - PW Firmware: 5.6.1.1 Steps to replicate 1. Factory reset 2. Downgrade FW to 5.4.4 following OP advice from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...08&postcount=7 (before I found this thread) 3. Jailbreaked with K5 Factory JailBreak (Factory FW) following https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=186645. Got "**** JAILBREAK ****" 4. Given that I got v1.16N I did not install MKK 5. Restarted the devise ([HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Restart) 6. Installed KUAL by pasting KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 into my Documents folder 7. Get the error trying to open KUAL Things I've tried so far: - Repeated all steps to make sure I got the same result - Placed Update_mkk-20250419-k5-ALL_keystore-install.bin in the root folder and updated (got that file here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=1295) - Installed MRPI following https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=251143, placed Update_mkk-20250419-k5-ALL_keystore-install.bin inside mrpackages directory and then run MRPI via ;log mrpi in the search Still get "This item is not signed by an authorized developer" every time I try to open KUAL. Haven't tried this one yet: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=1597 But as I've never upgraded FW after downgrading it, I'm not sure if that's required. To prevent any unexpected upgrade, I haven't connected my devise to wifi since the factory reset. Anything I might be missing? |
