You need extensions built specially for newer devices (aka Kindle HF or firmware 5.16+). Unfortunately it seems that the developer community became smaller, so there are not many extensions that were updated... However the new Gargoyle should work.

Seems like your JB hasn’t been installed fully.

Restart Kindle twice.

Then try mkk again.

KOReader works, you need kindle version with “legacy”

Hi, I had some troubles with my jailbreak in the past, you could try the method here:

https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/

I'm my case I needed a factory reset in my Kindle PW3 first, doing this: putting a blank file on Kindle root directory name DO_FACTORY_RESTORE without extension.
I reset my Kindle hold
power bottom for 30 seconds and then starts the process to Jailbreak.

Is there any way the Kindle Touch support for KUAL might be updated to stop the following error from appearing when trying to launch it?

The permissions to open this item have expired. Please contact the developer.
I verified that my device's date is correct and set to the current date. Thanks in advance for any advice that you might have.

That was the process that I used to install what is currently the latest KUAL update. For the Touch, I just copied the KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file to the device's documents folder.

This was working fine up until today (maybe as early as yesterday, given that I had just tried to invoke it again today). Today, I now see the error message that I posted earlier when I attempt to invoke it.

I think that the developer key must have expired. If so, it could be that a new key needs to be generated and the applications such as KUAL resigned.

It has been reported that if you set the date in the past that things work again.

That's what I figured happened, but I wasn't sure. Given how old this device is, what is the likelihood that KUAL will get resigned? Thanks for confirming!!
p.s. I don't want to reset the date in the past because I have some code that I wrote that is displaying the current date/time.
