Thank you! Copying Update_hotfix_universal.bin to the root folder and running the kindle update from from the menu while inside the settings menu worked and KUAL and KOReader are launching fine now!

Hi. I have a PW2 (sixth generation) that I had previously jailbroken with Niluje's and is running the screensaver cover hack. But there are some issues with the screen sometimes fading out at the edges and I want to do a factory reset and then update the firmware to the latest, which I think is 5.12.2.2. So do I now need to install Winter Break? Do I need to reinstall the jailbreak and everything again? My main interest is really just to get the cover screensaver.

I seem to have stabbled myself in the back. I'm encountering 2 errors which are currently making it impossible for me to fix on my Kindle PW1.

I installed usbnet then in KUAL I told it to enable ssh over wifi, start ssh on boot, use openssh and replace the store button. At some point I restarted the device. Upon reboot issue #1 popped up. Once again KUAL is telling me the certificate is not from an authorized developer even though I'd previously bypassed that by installed the 2025 devcheck package. Pressing the store button gives me an identical certificate error.

Now issue #2 pops up. Plugging the usb plug in no longer puts the device into usb drive mode (when plugged into my linux pc if it's relevant). I can ssh to root@ip on wifi and get to the password prompt but have no idea what the password is. Perplexity says it's some variant of the serial number? It's suggestions have been useless. ;debugOn followed by ~usbNetwork then when that failed it changed it to `usbNetwork which also didn't seem to do anything so rather then spin my wheels I figured best to admit to stupidity and request assistance.

*update* I finally found a post about using ";un" which at no point perplexity mentioned to turn off usb network so it would go back to usb drive mode which allowed me to flash the uninstall of usbnet via ;log mrpi command. Think I can fumble my way from here. *famous last words*
