Kindle Touch/PW1/PW2 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 JailBreak. Plus FW 5.x USBNetwork. - Page 144

blubbblubb · 02-04-2016, 02:00 PM

ok so i just made a mistake.

My PW2 was still von 5.4.X, jailbroken with 1.10N and i wanted to try the new update so after reading here that the jailbreak survives the update i updated using the 5.7.2 bin file but i forgot to update the jailbreak beforehand. While it was updating it did actually show the "Jailbreak" Banner on the bottom but now nothing i try works (Kual is not starting and the hotfix just gives me the "invalid update file" error.)

Any chance for me to still fix this or am i out of luck?

Try to reinstall KUAL with the PROPER file for your device,

blubbblubb · 02-04-2016, 02:17 PM

Well i already copied the 2.6 Kual "KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2" into the documents folder. (and if im not completely incompetent today that should be the right file for a PW2)

As for the necessary "Mobileread Kindlet Kit" i cant reinstall that because the update kindle button stays greyed out, and i cant install anything with mrinstaller because KUAL does not start.

1) Might be a problem.
2) But this seems to say not so.
3) Now that is certainly a problem.

If looking for bragging rights -
Your the first person to report firmware 5.7.2 messing up our jail break's "auto-rescue" feature.

That is all I know about the problem -
NiLuJe will have to answer with more details.

You may need a serial port connection to fix it (and to answer NiLuJe's questions about what got damaged).

NiLuJe · 02-04-2016, 04:21 PM

Oh, right, forgot to update the hotfix for 5.7.2.

Will do. No idea if it'll take, but here's hoping

.

EDIT: Hotfix updated.

blubbblubb · 02-04-2016, 04:59 PM

Well im able to start KUAL again and my Screensavers are back, so im guessing everything is working correctly again, thanks for the quick fix

Sorry that I didn't have up to date information for you.

You will need MrPI working, you might check that also.

blubbblubb · 02-04-2016, 06:12 PM

already did, after the hotfix only kual was working again so i grabbed a couple of updates (linkss, usbnet, rescue pack, ...) and installed them with MrPi

Could you give a link please.

Link is in the first post.

hius07 · 02-05-2016, 02:30 AM

Thanks, I see, but Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin is dated 18.08.2015. Is it correct?

NiLuJe · 02-05-2016, 07:30 AM

Not the hotfix one. You're most likely looking at the one from the JB release.

Sorry, I cannot see the hotfix in the first post other than in the JB release.
