The respective procedures worked on both a PW2 and a KV. But, weird thing - upon initial update to 5.8.1, the covers for books (not docs) wouldn't show up in cover view, even once downloaded. After the Kindles downloaded an update for the Chinese dictionaries, it started to work. I don't think this is a jb-related thing but I was nervous for a few minutes before it started working.
Also one bit that I don't think was in the OP, that I read the official KUAL OP and comports with my experience - KUAL won't work on KV 5.5.x, so if you decide to use it before upgrading to a newer FW, don't be surprised if it doesn't open - it doesn't mean that the jb didn't take.

So they broke active documents on newer firmware on other devices too, and not just the Oasis? Yep, we need a new native-mode launcher even for those now too (not just K1 and KOA). On that note, my Win10 dev system finally booted (it took TWO DAYS on the fast-track win10 dev program, so I give up and will disenroll) -- where my source code resides. Now I can crawl out of my progress tarpit on that front. A new menu system coming soon for "all the kindles".

Install the most recent 'hotfix' (or MKK, depending) and then:
Tell us if the search bar command:
;log mrpi
works (it should give some sort of message, even if MrPI isn't installed).

Hi guys!

I need help.
I have a PW-3 (G090G1) with 5.8.1!

I followed the tutorial:
1. Backup my data
2. Reset my Kindel
3. Copy "update_PW3_5.7.4_initial.bin" in the root directory
4. Clicked "Update my Kindel"

After maybe 5% of the update progress, there is now an error: "UPDATE ERROR: 4"!
What I have to do now? Please help me ._.


Thanks for this tutorial and help btw.!

Did you consider the possibility of downloading a new copy as a viable option? If not, you should. After downloading a new copy, be sure to check its MD5 too. Then follow instructions for recovery in the first post.

Well, thats maybe an option! I will think about it!

I just pressed the Power-On Button and my Kindel starts normally (like after a Reset).
Now I will download again and check the MD5-Sum.. what else, thanks for your help!

@app: I would assume it's white?

(I'm going to cry: this *possibly* doesn't break anything device code decoding related, for once ).

Asia does seem to get the White (color of mourning) PW-3

No clue where the KT-3 models are going.

Hey guys. As my nickname says, I screwed up.
I have an Amazon Kindle Touch Basic (2014 model) I got as a gift years ago, and I wanted to install this jailbreak because I have a lot of epub files.

I did everything as posted in the OP's thread but I copied the wrong factory image. I used one from PW3 and not for my KT2.

This would not be a problem if I got to see it as an USB Storage, but the problem is that I see it briefly. I tried the DO_FACTORY_RESTORE method and it only "worked" one time. That time I could write that file because the Kindle gave me the time to copy it, but it wouldn't get to the original working factory image. After this one time, the time it recognizes it as a removable storage is almost non-existent.

So, to sum it up:

I flashed a paperwhite factory image in a Kindle Touch Basic. I tried the DO_FACTORY_RESTORE method but it didn't work.

Is there any hope for this device or it's condemned to live as a pretty, expensive brick?

Thanks!

Is there some way I can write step #1 to be more clear?

Quote:
[*]Positively identify the nickname of your Kindle model from the serial number.
Of the first six characters, older Kindles: xxxx xx, newer Kindles: xx xxxx in this table:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
The factory images **are not** model locked, your care taken with this step is your Kindle's only protection! If not found in the table, STOP HERE and tell us.

Yup, read it. I was tired and somehow misclicked. I think I made it very clear, I simply screwed up. Big time.
So there isn't virtually any way of debricking it?
Thank you.
