Yeah, the long-ish history and amount of devices & FW versions make this sort of thing fairly hard to future-proof .
And not wanting to potentially mess up a backport in criticial, but old & stable code is probably why I never actually "fixed" that at the root (i.e., by installing the dispatch script in the old JB). The fact that we "fixed" that by cutting down the "factory" JB to the bare minimum and explicitly required the installation of the hotfix also limited the interest in tweaking the old code . |

If you're so inclined, message the mods and ask them 'wtf, mate'. (I did - they ignored me) In between both Amazon + forum moderators both working to stifle kindle hacking, I'm going to simply get a nook as my next device. |

Hello. Please can you give me some advice? I made a serial jailbreak on PW3 with 5.10.1.1 firmware and at the bottom of the screen was label JAILBREAK in the end, and i want now to install KUAl. I've read that azw2 file doesn't work on 5.9.x and older and i need to install it by mrpi installer. So i copied extensions folder (with an MRInstaller subfolder) and an mrpackages folder at the USB root, and put Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7.14_install.bin to the mrpackages folder, and made on the home screen in search bar ;log mrpi. But thats the problem, nothing happened, so may be my jailbreak is't ok or may be something have changed in KUAL or mrpi installation process? Thanks.

It can't do any harm to install it twice. You do know that the ".tar.xz" is just transport packaging, and that the Kindle can do nothing with it, YOU have to extract the contents for the Kindle. |
