Still need reports from KT2, KT3, PW2 and Voyage users.

Of special interest are those devices that are running 5.9.2(.0.1) or 5.9.4

I did not need this fix on my Voyage running 5.9.4. kual booklet seems to be working just fine.

There are eight (known) versions of the Voyage ...
The first four characters of the serial number please.

Also, tell us what the build id of the 5.9.4 version that is installed.
(number in parans immediately after the version number 5.9.4).

Version 5.9.4 (3278740046)
With special offers removed (if that matters)

I updated all of the hacks from NiLuje's post including kual booklet and mrpi. (I use the screensaver, python, font, koreader, battery status). Not sure exactly what I did to get it to work but followed tips from this thread that I just stumbled on while trying to figure out why kual wasn't working anymore. Key was realizing that the old kual doc wasn't supposed to work and that I needed the booklet.

Special offers **should not** make any difference.

Yes, without forum moderators (they are all dead, dying or just gone) this place is becoming more chaotic than ever before.

When the KOA2 work is done, I am out of here.
I may or may not reprint some of the information on one of my own sites.
I am writing a lot of this stuff, (rhetorical question): why should I write it to increase someone else's ad revenue?

It works perfectly well for me too. I also got screensaver's hack to work as well, after reinstalling it. It had stopped working for me, while KUAL seemed to work fine, after one of the previous updates.
Thank you!

Device: KT3W (G000KA)
Firmware Version: Kindle 5.9.2.0.1 (3262870017)

I haven't used any of NiLuje's snapshots.

Doesn't work on my KT3, either with Fw 5.9.2.0.1 or 5.9.4. After replacing and rebooting, the following message will show when starting KUAL (instead of the blank screen).

"Application Error
The selected application could not be started. Please try again."

Device: KT3 (G000K905)
Firmware Version: Kindle 5.9.2.0.1 (3262870017) & 5.9.4 (3278730047)
Don't know whether I did something wrong...

knc1 · 02-18-2018, 08:50 AM

That error message has nothing at all to do with testing this replacement jar file.
This replacement jar file only makes the difference between KUAL showing a blank screen or it displaying its menu.
No error message in either case, either before using this jar file or after.

When did you jail break the device?
What firmware version did you have installed when you jail broke it?

Did you re-install everything after you updated the Kindle each time?
Everything other than the jailbreak itself always must be re-installed after a firmware update.

Which type of KUAL do you have installed?
The document or the booklet?

Here's my situation. I used the factory jb (by downgrading to Fw 5.8.0) and upgraded to 5.9.2.0.1, did a reset, reinstalled the "Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.14_nomax_install.bi n". I suppose the jailbreak should survive.
Then I installed "Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7.2_install.bin" and it showed a blank screen. After replacing the jar file, the massage showed. Later upgrading to 5.9.4, the same thing happens.
USBNet & LinkSS work fine.

I used SSH via USBNet to replace the file and now it works fine (although a bit slowlier). Bravo. I think something unexpected happened while replacing the file using the "RUNME" script.

Why?It doesn't work for my KT3.
I doubt whether there is something wrong with ";log runme".

Jiang Yuhan · 02-23-2018, 09:13 AM

Besides,my USBnetwork doesn't work,too.I've reinstalled it.

Hello!

I'm having the same issue on KT2 with 5.9.4.
KUAL says :"Application Error The selected application could not be started..."

I wonder what happened in this FW version..
