Has anyone been successful with a 2022 basic (11th gen)? I updated to the recommended FW, but after a few tries at step 17 I don't get the language screen, it just boots up like a new device with the English setup wizard.
As an aside, is there a list of the features you enable with JB? I'm less interested in KO reader and more interested in changing UI (getting rid of home/recommendations), and ads. I would just leave this new device in airplane mode and be OK but it gives me a cloud error everytime I go to the library. |

Jailbreak for most part in "Kindle land" amounts to blocking firmware updates + downgrade to older firmware (that supported your model!) + use bunch on non-GUI / command line programs + ability to use KOReader as alternative reading software. Most other user-facing UI changed that Kindle users have been using in the past are now either available in officially firmware (such as custom fonts and "book cover as screensaver") or aren't functional even on couple of years old firmware builds (such as reducing margins) let alone on the latest. |

But, it looks like there isn't a way that I could find to turn off ads or avoid the cloud not setup dialog box so I might switch back for now. Either way thank you to Marek and anyone else involved in this effort. |

Welp
kindle oasis 3 wifi 3g no ads
I updated to suggested firmware (FW 5.16.2.1.1 ), followed the instructions, and jailbreak went smoothly, log text stated jailbroken. airplane mode was on for all of this. then it asked for store info again, froze rebooted into english, and I thought it was bricked at 95%, after multiple loops, it seems to have updated (has correct date and time) and is in english, did the "type ;demo" and picked yes. Honestly if it boots at all I'll be glad after that scare.' finally booted, airplane mode was off when it was in managed mode. FW is still 5.16.2.1.1 No mkk folder, honestly not sure it's worth the stress just to be able to load something else to read cbz's |

@anglet Now try installing the hotfix bin using "Update Your Kindle" option in Kindle Settings.

That would be great since I had a DOH moment and bid and won a KO3 32gb at FW 5.16.4. I figured I'd have to sell it. I'll keep it for now along with the KO3 8gb at FW 5.16.2.1.1. Going to try this JB on that one this week. I generally downgrade to 5.13.7 because I prefer the interface and collections display and the display of overall book length in the list. Too bad since there are features since then that I do like. I wish that there was more customization to the UI.

IIRC 5.13.7 was the build that started with basics of current UI.
5.13.6 was the last before the changes. And 5.14.2?? (or was it 5.14.1.1) was the last version that you could revert to older UI look by changing a config file. |

Sounds about right. I think 5.13.7 has a couple of features I like and some that can be turned off like the home page, IIRC. I'll have to see if I can downgrade once I JB otherwise I'll either have to get used to the new UI or go back to my KO2 and/or KV. Or keep an eye out for the unicorn that is a KO3 with an even earlier FW.
