any solutions to the hot fix problem where here is no option to update your kindle?
My setup:
- Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen
- Firmware 5.16.8
- WinterBreak completed successfully
Update_hotfix_universal.bincopied to the Kindle root- Deleted
update.bin.tmp
The problem is that I do not have an “Update Your Kindle” option under Settings → three-dot menu.
The only options I see are:
- Device Info
- Restart
- Reset to Factory Defaults
The hotfix .bin file remains in the root directory, and Run Hotfix never appears in my library.
