K4 Mac or PC K4 Cannot Run 'Search' Commands - Help

Duncs · Today, 05:18 AM

Hello Mobile Read peoples,

Recently acquired a Kindle 4 with firmware 4.1.4 with a view to getting it working as a Weather Station. I am trying to achieve this with the following:
https://github.com/x-magic/kindle-weather-stand-alone

1. Jailbreak worked.
I have successfully followed the jailbreak guide on https://www.mobileread.com/ to the point where i now have an entry reading 'You are Jailbroken' at my main Kindle screen.

2. KUAL - Instructions unclear. Search Commands not working.
The next pre-requisite for the "kindle-weather-stand-alone" is KUAL, so I am attempting to follow this guide:
https://kindlemodding.gitbook.io/kin...ling-kual-mrpi
When i try Step 5:
"eject/disconnect your Kindle, then enter ;log mrpi to start MRPI. "
Its not clear where i enter ";log mrpi" The Search bar has 6 options for search that dont seem to be referenced in any guides I can find.

I've seen references to running 'search' commands starting with ; in other guides, I'm unable to get anything to submit in my search box, it just asks where i want to search.

What am I not doing right here?

Thanks for any help!

That KUAL installation guide is for newer Kindles. To install it on Kindle 4, all you have to do is copy the KUAL-KDK-1.0.azw2 file from the KUAL archive to your Kindle's documents folder.

Hi Spartan, thanks for the response. Thats actually really helpful to hear, its been quite frustrating trying to understand why I couldnt search!

Another pre-requisite is Python. Do you know if there is a similar K4 compatible approach to installing this?

The guide also mentions "Make sure KAUL and Kindle Python are installed and fully functional" and "Open KAUL". How do i do this without the Search commands?

Thanks again!
