Hello!

I have a first gen Kindle Paperwhite (PW), and I'm trying to run KOReader on it, especially now that unregistered PWs can't be registered. Due to being unable to register it, I can't use WinterBreak, so I'm trying to use K5 JailBreak from the Snapshots page.

I downgraded my firmware to 5.3.3, copied over the K5 Jailbreak files, ran the UYK update, and got the "*** Jailbreak ***" text. Reading the previous person's problems, I then also ran the "Update_mkk-20250419-k5-ALL_keystore-install.bin" update.

I then copied over the folders for MRPI, and the "Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7.37_install.bin" for KUAL.

When I type ";log mrpi" into the search bar and press search, the keyboard disapears, and it doesn't go to a search results screen, but I don't see a "Hush little baby..." message, and KUAL does not appear.

My Kindle's file structure is attached as a screenshot.

I then tried adding the "KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2" version of KUAL, and got the error, "This item is not signed by an authorized developer."

I hoped that this is the same issue Sypianski was having, but the updated developer.keystore didn't fix anything.

Has anyone else had this issue, or can see what I've missed / done wrong?

Thanks!

You did or didn't update back to 5.6.1.1 after jailbreak + hotfix install?

I did not update back to 5.6.1. Should I?

shamanNS · 06-24-2025, 02:04 PM

Yes, update to the latest firmware. Then reinstall hotfix + 2025 DevCerts update.

That worked, thank you so much for your help!

My update button is staying greyed out after unzipping to the root. Running KT 5.3.7.3.

Do I have to have my device registered to get it to work?
