Use kindle-jailbreak-1.14.N.zip on Paperwhite 3

Hello Everybuddy,

I used these forum a lot in the last years but these is my first post.

I managed to Jailbreak the PW3 with these Tutorial:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=263113

Everything worked nicely and I am happy.

I have Several Problems so far. The Main problem is that any .bin file gets removed by the Kindle after placing it at the root system. I can not chose "Update Kindle" because after reconnection the USB the .bin file is gone.

For Example I would like to install the USBNet from here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186645

But the .bin file gets always removed.

I want to install the USBnet because i want to use these Manual to remove the adds: REDACTED. I could do these by the Serial connection. But then I need to open the Kindle again and i am not sure how often the glue sticks properly.

My other Problem is that i would use the coolreader inside of the KUAL.
KUAL is working and also the HELPER file from KUAL is working.
But i do not manage to get vlasovsoft running from here:
http://wiki.vlasovsoft.net/doku.php?id=en:pbchess-1.2.6#amazon_kindle
I copied the files exactly how it says in the file:
  1. vlasovsoft folder into flash root
  2. Copy the extensions folder into flash root

But nothing works the Kindle goes back to the main screen when I tap "vlasovsoft" in the KUAL program.

I think there is a general Problem with the Kindle Paperwhite 3 and the Jailbreak which I used because to many thinks seem not to work properly.

I would be very happy if i can have some feedback what i could do to fix some of the issues.

Kind regards Alex

Package file not packaged for your device.

You must use MrPI (Mobileread Package Installer) with any 5.6.x series firmware.

Be certain you have a PW-3 by comparing the first few characters of the serial number with this chart:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
Note that the PW-3 model number is three characters, offset by three characters into the serial number, not just the first four.

NOTE: If your device's model number is not on the chart, let us know so that the packager can be updated.

The PW-3 is fairly new, get your packages from here:

No longer supported at this site.
Just go to your Amazon account and pay the fee to opt-out of the special offers program.

That does not sound correct.
Get us a screen shot of your file manager, showing how/where you put the files.

Use the correct files, follow the directions, and if anything still seems to be broke, let us know.
