Weird: Kindle "lost" all books, now doesn't see KUAL

[Ruskie_it]

Hello, this is extremely weird: I have a Kindle PW serial G000 PP12 xxxx xxxx with fw 5.11.1 successfully jailbroken. I also had booklet KUAL version installed, I think Coplate's version.

Doing nothing fancy, I just use to read book and occasionally I launk KUAL to update collections with librarian sync, but not recently. It had not even been restarted nor it went online, it has always been in airplane mode.

Today I waked up the Kindle to continue reading I was reading and... nothing was there.

The interface showed as if the Kindle was empty, no book in it. It wasn't a question of filter or anything, it seems it's internal database got lost. Yet, connecting the kindle to pc I could see the /documents directory was populated, and also calibre could see the books on the device.

I solved the issue by highlighting on calibre the books on device and then right click --> convert and send to Kindle. That solved my first issue (I got books and even annotations back), but of course KUAL was missing.
The screensaver hack continued to work, so the jb was not broke, I just could not see KUAL.

So I installed the latest jb-hotfix, pyton and KUAL-coplate-hotfix. The first two went through, but ;log mrpi destroyed the kual-hotfix.
So I tried: kual-coplate-install. Then uninstall and install again the "normal" no hotfix one. Reinstalling the hotfix. All "successful", but still KUAL does not show up.

If I try to install the kual-coplate-hotfix, or the "non-coplate" booklet version, the package gets destroyed as soon as I launch ;log mrpi. If I run uninstall or install of coplate's version it runs successfully. I also tried updating mrpi to latest version and did it all again, same result: KUAL is nowhere to be found.

Can somebody help?

Thanks!

Never mind guys, I found I posted an identical thread a couple years ago. Seems I am very unlucky (and yes: I am positive I am only unlucky and not guilty, 'cause I do absolutely nothing than read - and occasionally updating collections using the librariansync plugin). Will follow that thread solution.
