Hi everyone.
I've recently bought a Kindle Scribe 1st edition 2024 and while i was able to run winterbreak with no issues, i cannot get KUAL running.
Checking the MRInstaller logs, i see the following message.
Package 'Update_KUALBooklet_18b218e_install.bin' (KUALBooklet 18b218e I) is not targeting your device [FE3 vs. 11...
I'm running 5.17.2.
Is there anything i have to do to fix this?
Thanks!

I did a factory reset and went through the processes again. Then I used the HF version and it worked. Thanks for the suggestion!

If there is a problem the "Troubleshooting" says to "Try copying the Update_KUALBooklet_hotfix_*_install.bin file to the root of your Kindle when connected to your PC, and then go to Settings > Update Your Kindle, then resume from step 5.

I just installed the first and everything went well. I didn't install the second. Perhaps it doesn't matter if you install both. I just installed the first.

Good luck.
Thanks! I did a factory reset and went through the steps, but followed your advice. It works! Really cool. Thanks for the help!

Howdy,

This is great and I super appreciate all the hard work. However I was wondering if you could help enlighten me as I am having a bit of trouble. I am using a Kindle PW5 Signature.

The Winterbreak and install of MRPI and KUAL all have gone smoothly. But whenever I put the screensaver hack (PW2 and up version) or python on there in the mrpackages folder and run MRPI either via KUAL or ;log mrpi it tries to install them but fails with error code 1. Do you have any advice on how to get them to successfully install please?

Thanks!

I've been meaning to ask you a question. Jailbreak was successful with the old version file, now there are new versions of the jailbreak and hotfix patches. Should we update it?

Please help me

Please help. I successfully jailbreak my Kindle Oasis 3. But when I tried to install KUAL and MRPI, when I typed in ";log mrpi", Kindle gave me the following error message "The selected application could not be started. Please try again".

Please help.

Depends, if you have a version before 1.11.0 then yes
1.12.0 is primarily only relevant to the KS2

Is it enough to only install the updated hotfix: Restore OTA -> Install new hotfix -> Run Hotfix booklet -> Rename OTA.

You don’t have to re-enable OTA, just install with MRPI

MRPI versions from Nijule's thread currently only work on soft float firmware versions (pre 5.13.6). It took me a while to figure this out.

PS. KOReader current nightly builds for kindle hard float firmware (named koreader-kindlehf) may not work for everyone, the KOReader team is working on it. If this is your case, try Marek's nightly builds in the meantime.

PSS. The KOReader links above only work on firmware => 5.16.3. If you're running anything lower than that, you can download from the KOReader releases page
I jailbroke my 7th gen paperwhite, 5.16.2.1.1, using the MRPI by Marek. It seems to have worked, though I haven't installed KOReader yet. I'm not sure what version to get. I'll try the nightly, I guess. Was it a mistake to use Marek's MRPI?
