Tutorial Brand new PaperWhite 4 (2018) factory image JailBreaking - Page 17

Jokera · 12-21-2018, 12:03 PM

I installed 5.10.2 and now when I click KUAL it says "Application Error. The selected application could not be started. Please try again."

Is there a way to fix this?

NiLuJe · 12-21-2018, 12:47 PM

By giving us more details, maybe?

I had already jailbroken the device, KUAL was working fine. I installed 5.10.2 then KUAL stopped working. Then I tried putting in the hotfix. Still the same error.

We apparently don't have the same definition of "details"

.

So:

* Your exact Kindle model.
* Your initial FW version.
* Your last Hotfix install date (& revision of the hotfix package, if possible).
* Your previous KUAL version and type (Kindlet? Booklet? Coplate?).
* Did you fail to read the FAQ entry that mentions the fact that official updates wipe mostly everything custom, *including* KUAL on current FWs?

(The fact that you're on a PW4 -- if your profile is accurate -- only actually leaves you a single choice in the KUAL case).

Kindle model: G000 PP07
Initial FW version: I got it shipped with the initial one, and was able to jailbreak, and then update to the one before 5.10.2 and KUAL persisted
Hotfix: I applied the hotfix after updating to 5.10.2 (yesterday)
KUAL version: Coplate, latest?

No hope?

You have to copy kual to mrextensions folder and enter: ;log mrpi in search bar

@Jokera: That still doesn't tell me *which* FW version it was shipped on

.

But basically, see my final bullet point, which @xRetroN just expanded on.

The FW was 5.10.0.1

@xRetroN & @NiLuJe Thank you! It worked!

Is 5.10.2 not safe to update after jailbreak?

I'm already upgraded to 5.10.2, is there a way can I go back to older version 5.10.1.1 may be?

Only by using the serial port.

No. I do not have a PW4, nor have I ever connected to any Kindle serial port.

So, it looks like PW4 serial port jailbreak is a work in progress with no guarantee of success.

Not exactly, just different.

The PW4 (like the KOA2) has the "Androidized" file system, not the Amazon dual-boot file system.
Which is not to say that the new system is not dual-mode.

booklover6 · 12-25-2018, 04:53 PM

Has anyone gotten "Collections Manager" to work with the PW4, and if so, exactly what steps did you use? Thanks so much.

PW4, successfully jailbroken today, KUAL installed.

NiLuJe · 12-25-2018, 07:02 PM

I'm fairly sure CM (even with @ADambi's patches) doesn't support *any* of the PW4 FW versions.

You should be able to use LibrarianSync, though.
