Application Error
Hi, sorry if this is not the right place for this, I'm new to this forum.
I followed the steps to install the earlier update and I think it was successful. However, I can't tell, and can't continue with the jailbreak process because I can't access the settings. When I try to access the settings through the menu on the home screen, I get a dialogue box saying "Application Error The selected application could not be started. Please try again." What have I done? And how do I fix this? Thanks |

I followed all the steps in the OP
https://s3.amazonaws.com/G7G_Firmwar...ndle_5.3.3.bin This one, 5.3.3 judging by the filename I actually just tried deleting everything off it and doing the process again. It worked properly this time, but it was still kind of weird |

Which in this case it was hiding something that you would have removed if you had seen it. |

Hi, I want to JB my PW 1 but there is missing information about how to do the process.
I just clicked on "Kindle PW1 5.6.1.1 "(https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275881) and it opens this link than only shows how to donwgrade the firmware , but where are the next steps? (install the JB, update it, etc......) Thanks for helping!! |

Find the sticky "Kindle jailbreak index" Find link named: "Downgrade 5.6.1.1 to 5.3.3" Click it You are here Do the procedure listed here Return to index list Question: What firmware version is your PW1 running now? Find the link you just used in the index. Make eyeballs ascend one line (not counting any blank lines). Link is titled: "KT/PW1/PW2 5.0.x ... 5.4.4" Compare title with answer to the question above. (Hint: That is you now.) I.E: "We have met the enemy and he is us." http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cc...jpg?imgmax=800 That is, you changed the firmware version in your Kindle but you did not change your mental task of: "jailbreak 5.6.1.1" to "jailbreak 5.3.3" gotcha Last edited by knc1; 06-26-2017 at 11:58 AM. |

Jailbreaking 5.6.1.1. itself is possible...... And some TLS or SSL certs needed by Kindle are there in 5.6.1.1. only. You wont probably be getting an update after 5.6.1.1. @knc1's software jailbreak can do it.
EDIT: FOUND IT NOW THAT FACTORY DOWNGRADES DONT WORK ON PW1 Sorry, knc1 Last edited by baalajimaestro; 06-27-2017 at 01:52 AM. |

We do not have a factory, production line, image for the PW-1.
There where two builds of 5.6.1.1 - one for PW-1 and one for PW-3 Those devices have different SoC chips with different processors. So just stick with the existing PW-1 directions - Follow the downgrade process in this thread - Then use the older 'universal jail break' to jb the PW-1 while running the 5.3.4 (there is a typo in the first post) - Afterward you update the PW-1 to 5.6.1.1 and the jail break will survive. Just ask someone who owns six of them. |

I have just acquired a PW1 and I installed the screensaver hack via 1)downgraded to 5.3.3 2) applied jailbreak 3) installed python 4) installed ss file 5) created an empty cover file It all worked great...... Then I applied the 5.6.1.1 software and I am back to square 1 - I cannot apply any files and it seems not to have held onto the jail break. Has something changed? |

Only the jail break survives, nothing else. Repeat 3 .. 5 If you have trouble doing that, report back and we can figure out what is happening to your device. You might have accidentally used something that was out-of-date. |

Thanks for the fast response. The python & ss folders are still there so I didn't think I needed to do anything. It won't install python again so I tried sending the uninstall bin but it is not picking that up either - no option to install.

Only 'broke' is not enough details to even give us a clue. Post the MrPI log file after your attempt to install the python package and any error messages displayed on the screen. Which Python package? Link please. |

Hmmm - I have not used MrPI - is that my error?
When I downgraded before to 5.3.3, I used the software from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=264432. Then I followed the screensavers hack at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=195474 . This is where I got the python from - the file is attached to the bottom of that thread. I unpacked the zip and copied the bin onto the root of the kindle to install it. That is what I tried to do again now. I copied it onto the root and after ejecting and unplugging, there is no option to update. |

You MUST use MrPI (Mobileread Package Installer) with any firmware version more recent than: 5.5.x ref: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=251143 You should have KUAL installed to launch MrPI, but you will want that anyway for the screensaver control menu. You should also be using the most recent builds of all add-ins: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030 |
