ok, the saga continues lol
can't install anything over usb, the update button is disabled, greyed out @knc1, when you said that i can flash any firmware, it would have been nice to mention that with 5.9.x most things just don't work. i could've flashed a 5.8.x ok, whats done is done what can i do now? thanks |

Did you see the Jail Broken document?

To see the positive side, at least your device works and is not bricked. But it's gonna be harder to downgrade it now. Last edited by datanoise; 02-18-2018 at 06:01 AM. |

It gets overwritten when the device is updated. How did you put the *.pem file on the system? Did you use one of our scripts? (which does additional things, like drop the jail broken document) Did you follow that up by installing the bridge code? Note: The information IS NOT scattered around the forum. The serial jailbreak thread you where sent to is complete in and of itself. It is just that you keep jumping around all over the forum, trying to ad-lib your own version of the process by mixing in whatever you read somewhere other than what you were told to read and follow. |

i can't install mrpi because i dont have kual. and i cant install ANYTHING (such as kual) anymore, because the update button in the menu is disabled/greyed out.
if i put a bin in the root folder and reboot, it just gets erased, nothing installs |

I really, really, really did write what to do about installing packages without KUAL. Really. But I will not read it for you, and then type it here for you not to read again. Maybe someone else will read the directions to you. Maybe. Otherwise, give up on this whole idea of jail breaking your Kindle. |
