Is it possible to use WinterBreak to restore Paperwhite 3 (7th gen) to the original OS? (pre-5.x)

PS: I re-installed and re-applied the hotfix after downgrading to 5.14.2, had to re-install KULA as it wouldn't open after dowgrade, and Removed/Restored OTA updates again. Nothing helps. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you! ![]() |

I successfully downgraded oasis 3 to 5.13.6 using this method so it's weird.
This KUAL doesn't work for you? https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaki...S2_install.bin Edit: Haha I misread about kual ![]() Last edited by juliazero; 06-06-2025 at 07:42 AM. |

Thank you for the reply, @juliazero. Mystery solved! All's I needed to do was run Downgrader in KUAL once again and I successfully downgraded to 5.8.5 Still, I really appreciate your replies, it definitely helped get on the right track.
To whom it may concern, compared to downgrading to 5.14.2, 5.8.5 was a total reset will all the files lost. At least on PW3, I could also skip the registration by powering down and rebooting if anyone's into that. |

Has anyone tested if WinterBreak will persist after a 2024 Kindle Scribe is updated to 15.18.3?

Hi All,
I've jailbroken a few new Kindles recently, but am having an error that no amount of factory resets and reinstall of firmware seems to help. Kindle: Scribe 2024 Firmware: 5.17.3 Jailbreak succeeds Hotfix is applied to make it persistent. However, when using the KUAL hotfix, it says that an invalid update file was found and it removes it from the root directory. If I try it through mrpackages, it attempts to install, but has the following error: [2025-07-17 @ 23:17:34 -0600] :: [MRPI r19303] - Beginning the processing of package 'Update_KUALBooklet_c6ac782_install.bin' (KUALBooklet c6ac782 I) . . . Failed to parse package 'Update_KUALBooklet_c6ac782_install.bin' (KUALBooklet c6ac782 I) [return code: 127], skipping . . . ![]() KindleTool output: env: can't execute '/mnt/us/extensions/MRInstaller/bin/K5/kindletool': No such file or directory Does anyone have any ideas on how to get KUAL installed? Thanks! |

Update should work on jailbroken device, as long as you make all the steps. Last edited by jackm8; 07-18-2025 at 07:30 AM. |

Hey everyone. PW4 on 5.16.5 (got it used)
Followed the tutorial 5 times now very closely, but still no luck. I get updating store front followed by the famous unexpected error. Consider basic user errors like hidden folders to be respected, my background is IT. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ![]() |
