Y'all awesome, people. Keep doing such a great work!

Thanks for your post, I made the same mistake. I've been away from kindle modding for too long!

Hi.

I am new to jailbreaking and KUAL.

After jailbreaking, what version of KUAL do I need for Paperwhite 3 (2015)?

Thanks.

I have a PW5 Signature edition running 5.16.2.1.1
I was able to jailbreak it via LanguageBreak and everything seems to be working, but I can't get KUAL to show up as a document.
From the instructions I should be using KUALBooklet_v2.7.32 with KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2, but it's just not showing up as a document.

You need to install the coplate version of KUAL on the later firmware versions such as you are running.

The instructions were somewhat unclear on that; it works now.
Thank you!

I think this is the right thread, if not, I apologize. I've been helping my kid who still uses a Kindle DXG. We got it jailbroken and KUAL onto it. But KUAL doesn't run - we consistently get "The permissions to open the requested title have an invalid date. Please contact customer service. "

Since we started this because the kid wanted the dates fixed on the device, I have no clue what to do. help? I was trying to get the usbnetwork hack on to run, but it doesn't.

Thanks for this. I had nearly the same results, except that I only put epubs into the documents folder. The result was, the kual icon was there. For a few seconds. It vanished after 30 to 60 seconds, sometimes I could still click it, sometimes not. One thing that was different (or you have not checked this), after a simple reboot the kual icon was back again. Again only for a short while, I did not expereince any crashes though.
Then I moved all my epubs to a differnet foldr (outside "documents"), and everything is fine now.
Maybe this should go to the Kual faq, do not put epubs into the documents folder!

I installed KUAL and MKK on 3.0 and was able to run KUAL. But after updating the firmware to 3.4.3 to try and troubleshoot registering to an Amazon account (didn't help), I have a "Test Kindle Installation Result" document, and I can't launch KUAL. The error I get is "The device is not registered as a Test Kindle to run this title." So per the FAQ, I re-installed MKK, which ostensibly succeeded, but I still can't open KUAL. What should I do?

I am using a K3G.

EDIT: Nevermind! Reset it to factory defaults and then jailbroke it again and it works now!

I'm having trouble getting KUAL to install on my Kindle voyage. When I put the KUAL.azw2 into the documents folder it does not show up in my library. I'm on firmware version 5.13.6. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: I figured it out. I didn't realize i was supposed to use the booklet version.

What probably worked for you was the coplate variety of the booklet version. A lot of people get caught out by not using the coplate version.

Hello, I hope this is the right thread for this, but is it possible to have "tweak battery icon" be executed automatically at every boot?

Marco Fedele · 12-15-2024, 01:25 PM

I have a PW2 running 5.12.2.2
I was able to jailbreak it via Jailbreak for any Kindle <= 5.14.2
I installed KUAL and PYTHON and everything seemed to be working
In order to get the Sreensavers Hack, using 7zip I decompressed kindle-linkss-0.25.N-r17508.tar.xz and moved the file Update_linkss_0.25.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3_koa_kt 3_koa2_pw4_kt4.bin to the mrpackages folder at the root of my Kindle over USB, then ejected & unplugged my Kindle.
I runned then MRPI via KUAL: Helper -> Install MR Packages and there was a message something like "Hush little baby, installing, Destroying Package, Restarting UI" and then the Kindle rebooted with the usual picture of a tree and did’t show the special screensaver to confirm that the installation was successful.
KUAL UTC says sh.write error: broken pipe
I repeatdly downloaded and extracted the file tar.xz, even by online extractors but the result was the same.
Any ideas to help me?

Hello ChooChoo,

I have a Voyage and I'm having a similar issue. I'm on the 5.13.6 firmware and I managed to root it with the WatchThis method.

I'm not able to get KUAL running. What steps did you take?

Your help would be appricaited.

Hi everyone! I'm very new to kindle modding so I apologize if this is an obvious question but I can't get apps other than KOReader to work. I tried eBoard and Gargoyle and they both show on the KUAL app list but they don't launch when I attempt opening them. I'm on the latest firmware and used WinterBreak as my modding method.
