I've got similar problem. For last 5 hours I've been trying to jailbreak my pw4 few times because every time I did something wrong or didn't connect my kindle to PC on time. So when I was connecting it to PC, it showed a message that Device is broken or something. Then I just couldn't connect it whatever I've tried. My kindle doesn't support Amazon so I cannot send books with Wifi, or mail or other ways so now it's just a brick which charges and doesn't have any books. Did you solve your problem? Or does anyone know what to do? Thanks |

Hi,
Can someone please help with this step: update_hotfix_languagebreak-{language you want to end up with}.bin Where is this file? I don't see it in the current zip - has it been replaced with something else? Thanks |

I have been trying to complete it, but not having much joy. When I try to run the hotfix, I get an "Update Failed" error. I have started the process again (including factory reset). When I try to jailbreak now, I get the error with debug - which I presume means I am jailbroken fine. Is there some way to confirm if I am jailbroken, and if the hotfix has been applied properly? I presume the hotfix will do tidy up of the Languagbreak files, if successful? |

The Hotfix file seems to have gone from my root, but the "DONT_CHECK_BATTERY", "jb" and other files/folders still seem to be present. I don't have an "mkk" folder in the root. Does this mean I am not jailbroken or with hotfix applied? |

If you tried jailbreaking with the zip you probably did nothing except enabling PREGM debug features and MNTUS_EXEC since the keys.sqsh file is only present in the built tarball - i recommend installing 5.16.2.1.1 (or whatever version you are on) again and trying the whole jailbreak process again with the correct files

If they don't work for you try to read through this thread. I collated tips from a bunch of different comments before I managed to jailbreak my device. |

Hey all long time listener first time caller...
I brought a Scribe just 2 days ago on Version 5.16.1, upgraded manually with bin to 5.16.2. Followed Mergens instructions on post #484 Was a battle... .I'm confident with jailbreaking stuff before. I did all the ;demo stuff, sideloading. Languagebreaking. I got to installing both hotfixes, then my kindle was stuck on the OOBE screen with no choice but to sign in. Judging from step #12 on post #484, I thought it was OK to go through and agree to updates, then updated. Rebooted and saw a sad message on the bottom that cut off ending in: '5.14 xx' I didn't catch the whole message. And now its on 5.16.6.1! I thought I had all the fixes in place, Never got to KUAL yet. I thought that was next step. Am I boned? I don't think I can downgrade from here. I had the mkk folder showing before and everything. Now my directory has no jailbreak remains. I tried putting the 5.16.2 .BIN file on but Kindle is smart now and says it's incompatible nice try. Any luck for me or am I stuck in the waiting train? |

If you previously managed to jailbreak & install the hotfix then maybe you can restore hotfix and then downgrade firmware. Read this topic:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...62#post4422462 Start with doing 2 more reboots and then check if ';log mrpi' and/or ';log runme' commands are working or not. Last edited by shamanNS; 05-28-2024 at 07:22 AM. |
