What is the "framework" process?

Doesn't the folderprevent that the update is pushed to the device?

Before, prevents arrival of the image resulting from the request for the image.
With 5.12.xxx, perhaps both now fail (so don't let your Kindle download a file the size of an update file).

Ok, I'll try to.
And once 5.12.2 or whatever is released and verified to keep the jb, I will try to leave my kindle online to see if 5.12.1 can overcame the directory blocking mechanism.
Thanks!

Hey guys,

I've got another evidence that my theory is correct. "Flawed" update process.
Yesterday evening while reading I noticed that the highlighting mechanism has changed in this last fw version.

As you can see in the attached picture, when you are in the process of highlighting something you now see a line below the highlighted words, and a vertical bar on the side. When you release your finger, the text becomes gray as usual.
This, in contrast with the "old" way you probably have: the text becomes gray while you drag your finger.

Now: I use highlighting A LOT, because I track typographical imperfections in my books and use calibre to correct them, and I am sure that this behaviour did not change immediately after the fw update.
I am certain that until the day before yesterday the highlighting worked as in the old fw version.
So now I am guessing that after the update process completed (with the famous "Your Kindle has been updated" words), it is not really completed yet.
Somehow the Kindle still wants to download some... resources from the Amazon servers, like those for the new highlighting, and keeps trying (and burning batteries) until it can't get it.

There is also a person I met over Telegram who was complaining about battery drain (not jbroken): I suggested him to let the kindle go online for a few minutes, and his problem is solved as well.

It seems to be a new method of update depoly with postponed features.
As written on the official update page, what's new for 5.12.1:

Read Now: In the coming weeks, you will be able to read items that you own with a single click from the ‘Before You Go’ dialog.

So your exploration confirms that the device must be connected to wifi to activate some new features.

Yep. Happy to help.

My experience on my KV: With fw 5.11.2 & jailbreak & update.bin.tmp.partial directory, a couple of weeks ago, my kindle suddenly reboots (in that moment, WIFI-connected)... to found fw 5.12.1 installed and update.bin.tmp.partial directory removed.

Jailbreak survived, I reinstall KUAL, linkss, usbnetwork and re-create update.bin.tmp.partial directory.

Some minutes ago, my kindle (in that moment wifi-connected) reboots with "firmware update" screen... But after finished, fw is still 5.12.1 (or so it says). Jailbreak survived, but i've to reinstall Kual et al again.

I do not understand that "firmware update" process without any (aparent) fw version change... something strange (and ominous) is in the air.

Hmmm...On my new Oasis 3 I put the update.bin.tmp.partial directory on it immediately when I got it, and it hasn't updated yet.
