Kindle 5th jailbroken problem

[u/Shot_Accident4454]

I have a 5th-generation Kindle from 2012, firmware 4.1.4, serial number: 9023. I tried the jailbreak and followed the main guide; I managed to do it, but I'm stuck at the step asking me to install KUAL and MRPI. Basically, I put the kual.jar and kual.sh files into the 'documents' folder and eject the Kindle , but the kual manual don’t show up , I tried many things : peki , free up some space ( I have 1.5 gb left ) but there nothing I can do , please someone help me

Sounds like you're following the wrong guide for that Kindle.

You need to copy KUAL-KDK-1.0.azw2 to the documents folder. Any other method of installing KUAL won't work on that model.

Where I can find that file ??

Are you following the guide on kindlemodding.org? It's on the first page of the instructions for installing KUAL.

Your Kindle model is K4, not K5. I know Amazon calls it 5th generation, but the modding community calls it K4.

That won't work on K4. Kindlemodding.org seems to give a lot of bad info for older Kindle models.

Download the "koreader-kindle-v*.zip" file from here. It contains two folders:

• extensions
• koreader

Copy those two folders to your Kindle's root directory. Then you can use KUAL to launch KOReader.

I just installed koreader-kindle-v2026.07.1.zip

Are the two files directly inside the documents folder, or did they end up in a subfolder after unzipping?

No sub folder , all the files are in the document folder
