Librarian Sync creates empty collections folders on Kindle
Hi...
I have a Paperwhite 3 (g90g1) Did the following steps: 1. Downgraded the Firmware to 5.7.4 2. Jailbreak 3. Copied the collections manager2.8.1 (CollectionsManager.azw2). But the kindle says it will not work on this firmware. 4. downloaded Kual, Python(Update_python_0.14.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3 _koa_kt3), mkk, helper, mrpk 5. Downloaded Kindletool (kindletool-v1.6.4.97-mingw) to convert the librarian sync file. Used the following commands - >kindletool convert Update_librariansync_1.10_kindle5.bin >kindletool create ota2 -d paperwhite3 Update_librariansync_1.10_kindle5_conv erted.tar.gz update_librariansync-1.10pw3.bin 6. Copied the update_librariansync-1.10pw3 to the mrpackages folder of the kindle. 7. Librariansync was successfully installed. My problem is this - when I update collections from calibre through librariansync all it does is create empty collections folder on the kindle. All the books are outside the Kindle. I cannot figure out the problem. Please help. Last edited by Trups; 01-25-2017 at 11:55 AM. Reason: changed title |

You downgraded to FACTORY ONLY firmware.
None of our things where ever intended to run inside of the factory on the production line. Now install CUSTOMER firmware (Steps #7 and #8, in that order). Your choice of version, just that it must be the customer firmware. |

Thank you!
Ok so since I've downgraded to Firmware to 5.7.4, I can install customer_PW3_5.8.7_update on the device now? I'm just worried I'll brick my Kindle. After that I'm guessing I have to reinstall Kual, python and rest of the stuff? |
