Installed KUAL but extensions not visible?
hello!
Thanks for having such detailed guides on jailbreaking kindle. I have successfully jailbroken mine and installed KUAL. I am able to open the launcher but I see that it can't find any extensions despite the fact that the directory structure looks like this: ➜ Kindle pwd /Volumes/Kindle ➜ Kindle tree -L 1 . . ├── developer ├── documents ├── extensions ├── file.ser ├── main-htmlviewer.tar.gz ├── mkk ├── rp ├── system ├── version.ser └── voice 7 directories, 3 files ➜ Kindle cd extensions ➜ extensions ls KUAL.cfg koreader kual-helper-0.5.N ➜ extensions tree -L 1 . . ├── KUAL.cfg ├── koreader └── kual-helper-0.5.N 2 directories, 1 file ➜ extensions tree -L 2 . . ├── KUAL.cfg ├── koreader │** ├── extensions │** └── koreader └── kual-helper-0.5.N ├── ChangeLog.txt ├── VERSION └── extensions 5 directories, 3 files What am I doing wrong here? Thanks! |

Nice report -
and you can save yourself some trouble by wrapping the output of "tree" in php tags. I know, that sounds strange, but it is the way this forum software works. You can delete the: "main-htmlviewer.tar.gz" file, that is the actual JB that you don't need any longer since its contents has been installed within the system files (that you can't see from USB storage). Which KUAL is this? Your PW3 will run either the Kindlet or the Booklet - and they can both be installed at the same time. The Kindlet (a document) by coping to /documents The Booklet by installing with MrPI. Both (or either) should have created a /mrinstaller top level directory. Can you find the KUAL (document or booklet or both) on the main screen and just not see the menu extensions? Or can you not find KUAL itself on the main page (with your other documents)? Review the Step #8 information in that step's spoiler. Last edited by knc1; 09-19-2016 at 09:59 AM. |

PHP not CODE tag
5.7.2 is greater than 5.1.2 Is that factory or customer 5.7.2? You still haven't shown the path to the KUAL document nor any of the contents of /document. Bring up KUAL and post the contents of the information line at the bottom of the screen. You still are not showing /mrpackages It should be at the top level, next to the other top level directories, like /documents. Please show the full path and 1st level contents of /extensions. Note that you have been showing two "extensions" directories, make sure your looking at and reporting the correct one. |

It's not visible because you put it in wrong directory.
For KOreader, put everything to top folder instead of "extensions" |

For KOReader: 1. name_of_package/extensions/* to extensions/ on Kindle 2. name_of_package/koreader/must go to root of Kindle |

Nope.
You are seeing your choice of unzip tool and unzip tool options trying to be helpful. There are warnings about that in the documentation (of nearly everything here). If you where the only or the first to use KOreader, you might be correct. But in this case, this advice applies: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-...45835691837744 Last edited by knc1; 09-21-2016 at 09:04 AM. |

Yes only KOReader. I am not sure I quite like the tone of that. I only reported back what seemed to work for me. |

No, that is not what fixed it. That is only compensating for earlier mistakes in reading and following the directions. It just happens that sometimes PEBCAK + PEBCAK == something that works. Last edited by knc1; 09-23-2016 at 03:22 AM. |
