Unable to see Update Your Kindle - post reset mistake

MiamiSwami · 02-18-2025, 12:48 PM

Good morning,

I have a Kindle Basic (7th Generation) on which I have used WinterBreak and completed the JB process.

I then decided (in error) to reset the device.

Then I tried to redo the JB process.

After redoing the WinterBreak

At the Setting up A Hotfix step, "Update Your Kindle" option is greyed out. I expect that is due to the fact that I have used KUAL to do the rename OTA bin during the first JB process.

I have reinstalled KUAL and MPRI and tried to "restore" but it has not been effective in restoring the "Update Your Kindle" option.

Please help me fix this.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

MS

Please change the green color. It's hard to read.

@shamanNS Thank you for the guidance, this allowed me to "update" to 5.12.2.2.

Is there some way to verify that "Update Your Kindle" will be available at the correct step prior to going through the JB?

No; the hotfix is not an official Amazon update, so if you put it on your Kindle prior to jailbreaking it won’t register as a valid update file. Being able to run unofficial code and updates is the whole purpose of the jailbreak.

Put the hotfix bin in the 'mrpackages' folder. Run ';log mrpi' in the search bar(as if installing kual). It worked for me.
