New instructions needed for PW3 | Must install hotfix twice #48

Hello, thanks for this jailbreak!

The process I had to get it 100% working differed from the posted instructions.

Existing Behavior:

Here, I thought that everything was properly installed. ;log mrpi was working, KUAL, was opening, etc.

But... the behaviour was really strange. mkk was not present. The root filesystem was full of permissions errors. Launching USBnetwork or KOReader from KUAL wasn't working at all (and silently failing). Looking at the logs, it was full of permissions errors.

The solution was to install the hotfix again. Now, mkk is there, and the apps work.

Expected Behavior: It would be great if you could add instructions that specify to install the hotfix twice. I'm not sure if switching from managed mode removed it, but if mkk is not present, you need to install the hotfix again.

Fixes #47 and fixes #46

Can you please make a step by step guide edit in this issue to make the work of the programmer a little less painfull? That would be beneficial for us all because he can link the issue in the readme file for those having the same device and (mostly) firmware (I assume you are on pw3 with fw 5.16.2.1.1) that you have.

Thanks for solving my and many other peoples exact same problem btw.

(little side note: this is a pw3 only issue afaik.)

Tested it on the Japan version(32GB model) of the PW3 and the issue isn't occuring there.

Region specific issues?

I might look into that a little bit more and try to rewrite the original jb script or create another method that works for the EU models without a hitch.

as a quick note: you dont need to go back into demo mode to reinstall the hotfix, you can just place the hotfix on the device then update

I am on pw3 with fw 5.16.2.1.1 and I have tries reinstalling the hotfix numerous times but the mkk directory does not show up. ;log works though. What should i do?
