I'm running a PW3 with FW 5.14.2, jailbroken. I spend almost all my time using KO Reader through KUAL. I've been using it (unregistered) for about a year, and it's been great.
Last week I registered for the first time with my amazon account to get a book, and since doing that my kindle hasn't been the same. It is still running the same firmware, but it changed something in the basic kindle system so that at least once a day KO Reader would be exited.
After a few days I de-registered, which has helped a little, but there are still problems. This morning I tried to sleep KO Reader, and it wouldn't do anything. Eventually I exited to the kindle system, and found it on a screen saying something had gone wrong and that I needed to either deregister (which I had done days ago) or do a reset.
I just held down the power button until I got the reboot option, and after a reboot it seems okay...for now.
The basic kindle home screen has also been rendered completely useless. Before registering it used to show me my recent books, and now the whole screen is just a "register" page. It's not a big deal because I almost never use it except to open KUAL on rare occasions ... but it's annoying that now it takes multiple clicks to get to KUAL.
I'm starting to wonder if I should try to re-install the 5.14.2 firmware to overwrite whatever happened when I registered. Has anyone else been through this? Is there an easier way? Maybe there are just a few files that got changed that could be restored (if there's a way to get/extract those files)?
If the only way is a complete firmware re-install, can I re-install the 5.14.2 firmware with MRPI (mobile read package installer)?
If so, will it do a factory reset, and wipe the whole device? Or would it leave my books and KUAL/KO Reader stuff alone?
Thanks in advance!
