No MKK folder after installing hotfix #45

Closed Inqurity closed 2 months ago

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

After installing the hotfix, the steps after didn't exit the managed mode. And there's no mkk folder appearing either. The hotfix supposedly installed incorrectly, as writing ;log in the search bar does nothing

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

Have tried to install the hotfix again, ;log works now

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

And it worked! I successfully exited managed mode. Don't know why the hotfix didn't install on the first try, maybe because of the language? (first time i tried en-US and second time en-GB) Anyway, that fixed it. Still no mkk folder, but I managed to install KUAL without problems

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

Actually, this may still be an issue, none of my KUAL apps run, they just send me to the home screen

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

Turns out MKK is essential for running custom apps, but since it didn't install with the hotfix, i'll try installing it manually

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

And you can't install MKK manually on a Paperwhite 3. Sorry if this is hard to read, but I'm new to Kindle jailbreaking

I've put my Kindle into Russian, rebooted, installed the Russian hotfix and now it's there. I believe the guide should be updated with like a little foot-note in case this happens to anyone else.

Inqurity commented 2 months ago

The instructions say the next: Connect the device to a PC and copy whichever Update_hotfix_languagebreak-{languge/locale}.bin file matches your language to the Kindle's root directory. Your language here is not a language of your choosing, but the language the Kindle is in, which is most likely Chinese. I think this part should be corrected. The language is defaulted into English after the next step anyway, so your language may be confusing

And there was another closed issue about this, sorry for making another one
