From b0e229d051589eaf7c76e840d6145f4ad7acacde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Facundo Arenas <99131130+IFAKA@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:45:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix WinterBreak2 post-jailbreak flow to use Legacy stack WinterBreak2 was directing users to the whats-next/KPM workflow after jailbreaking, but its jb.sh does not install KPM - it ends with 'Please Install HOTFIX now' and does not block OTA updates. Route WinterBreak2 users by their winterbreak.log state to the Legacy post-jailbreak stack (Universal Hotfix -> KUAL & MRPI -> Disable OTA -> manual KOReader), restore the Legacy koreader.md page deleted during the wiki reorganisation, fix the stale FAQ KOReader link, and document the WinterBreak2 exception on the hotfix/disable-OTA pages. No changes for jailbreaks that ship KPM (SpringBreak, AdBreak, Nosebleed, Sanctuary, Vera, WinterBreak). --- .../Legacy/post-jailbreak/disable-ota.md | 4 +- .../Legacy/post-jailbreak/koreader.md | 124 ++++++++++++++++++ .../setting-up-a-hotfix/__index.md | 1 + content/jailbreaking/WinterBreak2/__index.md | 16 ++- content/jailbreaking/jailbreak-faq.md | 2 +- 5 files changed, 141 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 content/jailbreaking/Legacy/post-jailbreak/koreader.md diff --git a/content/jailbreaking/Legacy/post-jailbreak/disable-ota.md b/content/jailbreaking/Legacy/post-jailbreak/disable-ota.md index 80aa138..c8ae666 100644 --- a/content/jailbreaking/Legacy/post-jailbreak/disable-ota.md +++ b/content/jailbreaking/Legacy/post-jailbreak/disable-ota.md @@ -11,6 +11,8 @@ Kindles automatically update when connected to Wi-Fi, which despite a `hotfix`, > [!WARNING] > You may skip this if you jailbroke using Winterbreak, Springbreak, or Sanctuary.

Before proceeding, check your Kindle's firmware version by going to:
+Home → Menu → Settings → Menu → Device Info
+Different firmware versions require different KOReader packages
+Download KOReader from the official release page
+Choose the correct package for your Kindle:
+KOReader Packages:
+kindle-legacy: K2, DX, K3 (and all variants)
+ kindle: K4, K5, PW1
+ kindlepw2: PW2 and newer models running firmware =< 5.16.2.1.1
+ kindlehf: Any Kindle device running firmware >=5.16.3
+ Firmware >=5.16.3:
+ Marek's KOReader Installer (nightly) Download and copy this scriptlet into the/documents folder on your Kindle, run it from your Library and it will automatically download and install KOReader
+ This alternative method might not work for everyone
+Plug your Kindle into your PC via USB cable
+Wait for your computer to recognize the device
+Make sure your Kindle appears as a storage device on your computer
+Unzip the downloaded file
+Copy the extensions and koreader folders to the root directory of your Kindle
When prompted, confirm to merge or replace existing files
+Safely eject and unplug your Kindle
+Open KUAL (Kindle Unified Application Launcher)
+Search for the KOReader menu entry and click on it
+KOReader Launch Options
+When launching KOReader, you may see three options:
+Start KOReader: The designed way to start KOReader
+ Start KOReader (no framework): Temporarily "kills" the Kindle UI to allocate more resources to KOReader
+ Start KOReader (ASAP): Skips a couple of checks and starts KOReader as soon as possible
+ KOReader is now installed on your Kindle!
+We recommend reading the extensive but very helpful guide for KOReader
++ KOReader currently does not support USBMS mode (USB transfer) and will only charge the device, if you want to transfer files you must exit KOReader to do so +
+
+ If KOReader appears in KUAL but doesn't work when clicked, delete both koreader folders, re-download koreader and make sure you're downloading the right package for your Kindle
