Trying this on a Voyage 3G, and I'm a little perplexed. When I do the initial reset, it immediately activates the Cellular antenna and contacts Amazon and forces me to login. All of the following steps seem to be off because my content is then available. (no getting started, etc...) I can't figure out how to bypass the amazon login. I'm not sure if this is the source of my problems or if I'm bumbling through some other part of the process.
Any advice? Thanks, JP |

I found I didn’t have to do all the steps in the description (can’t remember which ones however as I also jailbroke a 3G Oasis, which also didn’t go exactly as per the description but in a different way, and I’m not sure what were the exact steps for each device), but overall if you follow the “flow” of the instructions you’ll eventually get it right. Both devices gave me the application error when trying to sideload the jb; you may have to reboot and enter the demo mode again without connecting to USB. As far as I can tell the Help & User Guide -> Getting Started menu item is available regardless of whether the kindle is in demo mode or not, or registered at Amazon or not, so it’s not clear why you didn’t have it; I’d just give it another go and go with the flow Good luck! |

Jailbroken, but took an update
My PW3 which was jailbroken a while ago just took an update to 5.14.2. KUAL won't open, so I ran the jailbreak hotfix. Still KUAL won't open. Is there anything I can do to get my jailbreak back? (This new method for <= 5.14.3 looks too complicated for me to try at this point.) Without being able to open KUAL, I am unable to reinstall any of the packages...any thoughts? I rebooted a couple of times. All of the files are still there, but no KUAL and my screensavers aren't running...

You might want to look into the KUAL extension to rename OTA binaries so as to prevent firmware updates and also follow the thread on the firmware down grade tehnique that is currently being developed. |

And if that doesn't work I would have to run the kual booklet hotfix install.bin via UYK, does this sound right? (I had to go through something like this on one of my very old Kindles, but I think I recall that all I had to do was run the jbhotfix......so I'm nervous with this one) Many thanks... |

Update to 5.13.4
Hello,
sorry if I overlooked it. But how do I update my kindle to match the version I have the KT3 and it's currently running 5.11.11. I saw some posts but I don't understand how to generate the right link for the firmware update. I also found this https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW but this seems to just let me download version 5.14.3.0.1 which is to high. I tried something like this but this is just trial and error https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...gen_5.13.4.bin Thanks in advance! Last edited by LuigiTheHunter; 05-19-2022 at 04:19 AM. |

I can confirm that too. Using the method described earlier in re4om's post is sufficient.
1. Restore OTA update binaries 2. Donwnload and update firmware 3. Restart (I did it 2 times for the safety sake) 4. Install JB hotfix 5. Reinstall MRpackages and KUAL 6. Rename OTA binaries Last edited by LittleBiG; 05-19-2022 at 06:07 AM. |
