Hello Guys
I am using Kindle Voyage, downgraded and rooted (with hotfix and KUAL installed) at FW 5.11.2. It is in Aeroplane Mode, but I want to keep it connected to the internet. For DeDRM reasons, I want to stay at 5.11.2 permanently. Anyway, do you think I can prevent Firmware updates? |

Just to make sure OTA blocking works , I read with FW > 5.12 OTA blocking can be missed.

"As to bypassing ota binaries, it works as well. The most recent FW 5.13.6 is dated April 2021 and my KV is still on FW 5.13.5. Not that it matters for we have got WatchThis for any device running a FW version <= to 5.14.2. Do it manually or by renametobin KUAL extension." Also, I found this info: "update.bin.tmp.partial does not work for firmware greater or equal to 5.11. OTA mishap can happen on any FW after 5.11.x, so just make sure to use Rename OTA bins stuff". I already downgraded my Voyage to 5.12.1 as this is supposed to be the last version supporting the old decryptable KFX format. To avoid KFX books entirely on Voyage you would have to revert as far as before version 5.6.5. In this case Amazon may not even deliver files to the device, it is hard to know at this point. I applied the renamebin KUAL extension to prevent firmware upgrades, so far so good. If you have more info in regards to benefits of staying on 5.11.x firmware on our Voyage please share. For now it looks like 5.12.1 is as good as any 5.11.x version based on my brief research. |

According to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=351285 Calibre has troubles converting the azw3+azw6 combination. That's why so far was confirmed that the most recent calibre-friendly device is Kindle 4 Touch. Kindle 4NT is also receiving azw3-only books. I am not sure if Kindle 3 gets azw3 files or older mobi format. |

Hiya. linux sysadmin here, new to kindle playing.
Kindle 4, jailbroken, installed usbnetwork and KUAL... wondering if I can get a 'button' (?) in Kual to run a shell script? Or if there's another simple way to run a script manually from the kindle (not ssh). Thanks Last edited by mattcd216; 02-16-2023 at 06:21 AM. |
