Stuck After Jailbreaking PW3 with LanguageBreak: Need Assistance

Hello everyone,

I recently attempted to jailbreak my Kindle PW3 using the LanguageBreak method, but now I'm stuck and need some help.

Here's what happened:

- I successfully completed the jailbreak and was able to install and use KUAL.
- I decided to run hius07's renameotabin to secure my device further.
- After running renameotabin, I realized I didn't have an mkk folder. I followed the instructions, but still no mkk folder appeared.
- I saw on GitHub that for PW3, the Hotfix needs to be executed twice. So, I tried to do that.
(https://github.com/notmarek/LanguageBreak/issues/48)

Now I'm stuck in this situation:

- I cannot perform any updates because they are disabled.
- After rebooting, I can open KUAL, but no other apps are working.
- Running hius07's renameotabin doesn't seem to do anything.
- I can't update because the option is grayed out, and I can't revert the process because I'm stuck in an intermediate step of the jailbreak.

Has anyone experienced this issue or has any tips on how to proceed? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Usually dropping the hotfix file on the root of the Kindle and rebooting should also install it. As far as I know renameOTA doesn't block this, so it should work.

Thank you very much! I tried dropping the hotfix file on the root of the Kindle and rebooting again, but unfortunately, it didn't work. However, your suggestion gave me an idea. I moved the hotfix file to the mrpackages folder and installed it with log mrpi, and voilà, it worked!

Thanks again for your help!

The hotfix doesn't support the initramfs updater.

Weird, I swear I used it like this but maybe I misremember. Why doesn't it support it?
