nvm again, so koreader doesn't support azw3, huh?

from reading some posts i should checkout the /usr/bin folder on the kindle but i can not seem to find that folder on the kindle root directory(location of documents and jailbreak) am i looking the wrong location or do i need to do something else besides plugging in the device to see the folder?

The OS root file system on the kindle is not visible over USB mas storage.

You need to install USBnetorking and use ssh or install kterm and use that.

koreader has its own ssh server, but it is considered obsolete, but it might work for you.

If you do not know anything about ssh, you have some internet searching and homework to do.

Hi, @NiLuJe

Thanks very much for your awesome work

I have successfully installed Kual(r19298) on my Kindle Scribe with 5.16.2 and serial ---23M---, but failed to install ScreenSavers and python because of being unable to detect my Scribe.

Thanks!

Attached is MRPI log of installing Kual, screensavers and python.

Already forgot, but I'm pretty sure that I was using the wrong kual. Using kual coplate fixed it. Either that or the mkk something folder was missing, reinstalling the hotfix fixed that.

Hi, @NiLuJe

It is shown below.

So, I've flashed update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.16.2.1.1.bin and started over. This time taking notes and photos of the step-by-step so I can write a detailed how-to post to help others not to get lost as I did... However this time it didn't work! :-(

I've used kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r19298.tar.xz and KUAL-5b5d1d2-20231104.tar.xz, both from 2023-Nov-03 13:37:00... in previous attempt (that succeeded) I used kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r19293.tar.xz and KUAL-d0eb25b-20231031.tar.xz.

I am going to leave it as it is for now, if there is an update let me know and I'll test it (hopefully I don't have to undergo the whole process again from scratch!).

Here are the logs.
This is the latest one, that failed:

Spoiler:

And this one is the one from yesterday, that I managed to install KUAL by copying to mrpackages both files: Update_KUALBooklet_d0eb25b_install.bin and Update_KUALBooklet_hotfix_d0eb25b_install.bin

Thank you.
Some files were updated.
kual-mrinstaller-1.7.N-r19298
KUAL-5b5d1d2-20231104
I finally used these to install KUAL with ;log mrpi.
It seems that the remount failure occurs with relatively new FWs.

As to why this failed this time around: the repackaged hotfix contained in LanguageBreak 1.0.2 and/or master is likely based on a subtly broken version (i.e., you can use it to handle LanguageBreak-specific cleanup just fine, but you should reinstall the standard snapshot hotfix after that anyway; this is similar to what we ended up with on previous jailbreaks with a repackaged bridge. The bridge is just too much of a moving target to be safely repackaged for frozen releases.). Last edited by NiLuJe; 11-04-2023 at 03:37 PM.

I installed that one with the Update Your Kindle button from Settings; and then Update_KUALBooklet_5b5d1d2_install.bin with ;log mrpi. That went better, still the "Failed to remount ro" but at least there was a brief image of a tick.

Seeing many people replied, do you still need souvenirs from Denmark?
