Hello.
I'm trying to recover my Kindle after an automatic firmware update.
Device
- Kindle Basic 10th Generation
- Firmware: 5.18.1.1.1
- Jailbreak: AdBreak (installed successfully a few months ago)
Problem
KOReader worked perfectly before the firmware update.
After updating to firmware 5.18.1.1.1, KOReader stopped launching.
KUAL still opens normally.
Inside KUAL I can see:
KOReader → Start KOReader
When I press "Start KOReader", the screen flashes once and immediately returns to the Kindle Home screen.
No error message is displayed.
What I already tried
- Reinstalled KOReader (kindle and kindlehf packages).
- Reinstalled KUAL.
- Restored my original backup of the "extensions" folder.
- Restored my original "koreader" folder.
- Tried installing the Hotfix and KUAL Booklet through MRInstaller.
- MRInstaller returns immediately without installing anything.
- KUAL itself works.
Current structure
The root contains folders such as:
- documents
- extensions
- fonts
- libkh
- mrpackages
- amazon-cover-bug
- nosebleed
There is also an "adbreak" file in the Kindle root.
The KOReader folder contains frontend, plugins, ffi, libs, resources, etc., so the installation appears complete.
The extensions/koreader folder contains:
- bin
- config
- menu.json
- README
There are also several crash dump files (Indexer_Dump and KPPMainAppV2 *.core files).
Question
Is this a known compatibility issue with AdBreak on firmware 5.18.1.1.1?
Should I recover the jailbreak somehow, reinstall a specific component, or is there another recommended recovery procedure?
I would really appreciate any guidance.
Thank you.
