PSA: There seems to be a host of stable s out there. If you, like me, have an older Kindle lying around, don't let it connect to Amazon for the latest firmware updates. Instead, head over to kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/kindle-models.html and follow the instructions.

Only took a few minutes in my case :3

@jeder @benthor for the WatchThis jailbreak, you need to have at best firmware version 5.14.2, but, I've just realized, there's now also Winterbreak which should work on newer firmware

@jeder @confusomu but if KUAL is already working, then the jailbreak must have worked. Which koreader version did you pick and how did you try to install it?

@jeder @confusomu bummer. No idea what else to try, except maybe wait for a proper koreader release that should work on kindlehf?

@benthor @confusomu github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/13307 has ultimately worked, every other issue i looked at was just wasting my time by "you have installed wrong build" "no i haven't" and all that bikeshedding
