I decided to try WinterBreak my Colorsoft prior to updating the firmware from 5.18.0.1 to 5.18.1 since it will no longer be possible afterward, at least for now.
I am having trouble getting KUAL to install under MRPI. I tried two different versions and neither appears to recognize my device. Here is the relevant info from the mrinstaller log file: Package 'Update_KUALBooklet_18b218e_install.bin' (KUALBooklet 18b218e I) is not targeting your device [10A6 vs. 11 (followed by a long list of numbers) Package 'Update_KUALBooklet_ALLDEVICES_KS2_install.bin' (KUALBooklet ALLDEVICES KS2 I) is not targeting your device [10A6 vs. 11 (followed by a long list of numbers) The jailbreak and hotfix appear to have worked so I believe it would be safe to update my firmware. But I am reluctant to do something that cannot be undone before this problem is resolved. I would appreciate any information on whether I am doing something wrong or if KUAL simply does not support some recent Kindle models. |

It is just not updated yet.
What’s your end goal? FWIW, you can just use scriplets to run KOReader without KUAL, if that’s all you really want |

I want to be able to connect using SSH and have access to all of the disk partitions on the device. I am worried that future updates will restrict access to ebook files needed for DRM removal, especially on this device that uses MTP.
I will give that a try to see if that works on my device. |

(there is also a version of mrpi that blindly installs any packages without checking model, but use it at your own risk)

Added: in my mrinstaller.log file the last allowed value shown for that package is E46. It appears that MRPI somehow misses that last supported device shown in your log (10A6) when comparing versions. Last edited by jhowell; 04-04-2025 at 01:11 PM. |

The 5.18.1 firmware bin file is forcibly downloaded while WinterBreaking.
Can it be deleted manually, before installing the hotfix, to avoid firmware updating on reboot? |

I've been trying to do it with "Application error" for hundred times, only to realize my firmware version 5.18.1 has been patched :/
Always happens to me. |

I have a 10th gen Base Kindle that started out with 5.16.10.0.1 and could not jailbreak it after over a dozen attempts. Only the steps you outlined worked. I followed your instructions and in spite of it upgrading to 5.17.1.0.3 during that final reboot step, I was able to get it jailbroken and hotfix installed. ![]() |

I have a Kindle paperwhite 11th gen and I was able to run winterbreak and the hotfix. However, kual wasn't working so I tried to reinstall. In the process of re-running the hotfix, my firmware was somehow updated to kindle 5.18.1
Am I still jailbroken? Would I be able to install kual? I keep trying but when I enter the ";log mrpi" command it just takes me back to the home screen. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? |
