Question about OTA and jailbroken Kindles (KT4)

[musashired]

Hello I'm a newb still to Kindle Jailbreak. I have a Kindle 10th Gen that I jailbroke with WatchThis on 5.14.2 all was well and I put Kual and the helper on there to block OTAs and turn on Wifi but soon after the Kindle updated itself to 5.16.8... Look like the Jailbreak is gone but once I reboot I do see the bottom of the screen flash text that says "*****jailbreak*****" is my kindle SOL? Any advice?

;log runme should still work! (Even tho you won't get output on the screen since fbink doesn't yet support armhf (5.16.3 and higher)) if your hotfix was older than November 2023 you will need to place the keys manually (can be found in eg Language Breakrelease) or downgrade to 5.14.2 where the bridge should fix itself - even if you manage the keys install you will need to downgrade to at least 5.16.2.1.1 goodluck

i have a build of fbink for armhf but its kind of useless since other things need to be compiled too

Just flash the official upgrade now - copy the bin and force a reboot
