Tutorial WatchThis - Software Jailbreak for any Kindle <= 5.14.2 - Page 10

Mr42 · 04-28-2022, 09:54 AM

Since I can't find the "Get started" option in "Help & User Guides", I just reboot my kpw2 and follow the "Post Jailbreak" procedure. Unluckily, I failed on "Update Your Kindle" step. After I update it, it shows an update error and reboot itself. And back to the demo mode. Hope to find a solution.

Again, my device is KPW2 with version of 5.12.2.2

Spoiler:

Here are info of my device.

Spoiler:

Have I done anything wrong?

The information is in the tutorial:

8. If an application error occurs, hard reboot the device by holding the power button, enter the demo menu again and select Sideload Content -> Done once more without connecting to USB

Oops! Sorry for being blind.
I was just stuck and kept reading section 7.
Thank you for answering!

After entering Settings by typing ";dsts" on seach bar, My last item is Language & Dictionairies.

Kindle Voyage. I am stuck at step 9. "Settings" is not available. It was grayed out.

Got it. Thank you.

I am trying to add KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 but no luck. It won't show.

I do believe that I don't need MKK since I have FW 5.x.

I don't see it download or anywhere else.

Is this what the next should be for KUAL:

As of right now, and for reasons outside of our control, Kindlets will fail to run on these devices & firmwares, so you can disregard the earlier bit about the azw2 file.

Instead, on these devices, we will have to use the Booklet version of KUAL.
"
First, the prerequisites: your device of course still needs to be jailbroken, and needs to be running a recent "hotfix" version (the vast majority of you should be covered, only the early adopters might need to update their hotfix). Then, you will have to install MR Package Installer (MRPI). Never mind that it's technically a KUAL extension and that we're in effect doing things in reverse .

Once that's done, put the Update_KUALBooklet_v*_install.bin file (found in the same archive as mentioned earlier) in the mrpackages folder, which you'll find at the root of your Kindle over USB, then eject & unplug you Kindle.

Finally, enter ;log mrpi in the Homescreen's searchbar (in a similar fashion as what you had to do during the Jailbreak), and wait for MRPI to do its thing.
When the UI finishes restarting, you should end up with a KUAL entry in your Library (showing as a personal document).

Finally I've jailbroken my kindle voyage 5.13.6 according to instruction. The hardest part was to use "secret gestures" )) Thank you for the explaining picture. For me it was one tap by two fingers.

Hi boy.

• First KUAL
• And after KOREADER

I installed KUAL first and then KOREADER. I start Koreader from the KUAL menu

KUAL → https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=203326
KOREADER → : https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases

voidnull · 04-28-2022, 11:16 AM

DO you install MRI or just follow the plain installation for KUAL?
