Jailbroken Kindle PW3 refusing to start KOReader
Hi!
I've recently jailbroken my kindle PW3 so I can install KOReader and repurpose it, and I've succesfully jailbroken the device and installed KUAL, but when I try to start KOReader it refreshes the screen for a split second then returns to the home screen. I've tried no-framework and asap versions but nothing. I've seen a recent post saying that the nightly builds might work, but no luck. So does anyone have a suggestion? I'll put some info below: Running firmware 5.16.2.1.1 KOReader version 2024.03.1 KUAL version f190a38 If anybody needs more info I'll be happy to. Thanks. |

Which version of KOReader did you try to install? You need version with “pw2” in the package name.
attach crash.log file here from koreader folder. |

I did Install the pw2 version as the tutorial said.
and here's crash.log, but I had to convert it to txt. but hopefully this will suffice as the conversion didn't change any callbacks and whatnot. |

Your JB did not work. Install NiLiJe’s hotfix from Snapshot’s again and restart Kindle twice in a row. Last edited by mergen3107; 04-09-2024 at 09:51 AM. |

sorry for the late reply, but thank you! it worked flawlessly.
and I'm already seeing a big improvement in terms of speed and compatability. |
