Take the python package from the Snapshots list .

(Those are packages for python2 and for python3. At first I installed only python3 because I thought everything was python3 compatible now, but I was wrong and I had to also install the second one.. So be sure to install both).

To install them, you simply put them in mrpackages folder and install them from the KUAL menu on your kindle.

Sorry for the delay of answer. Let me know if you need more help.

Rmq: Of course, in my case I used the 2 others bin files from the archive since I have a KOA2.

That "killed by a reboot" happened already to bunch of people.
It happened to me 2 times, both times were PW5s ( = Kindle Paperwhite 11th Gen).

Thanks! I'm in the process of returning it.

Pretty sure the one I got was on 5.16.20. If everything goes ok I will be getting another one.

This is surprising, and that would be the first report I’ve seen of a 2024 Kindle not shipping with version 5.17.0. This being said, if it indeed came with a lower firmware, it likely would have been 5.16.21, as Amazon didn’t release a 5.16.20 version (publicly at least).

At any rate, whatever firmware your replacement device comes with, please keep in mind it is pointless to attempt to jailbreak it at this stage. The last jailbreakable firmware version (5.16.2.1.1) was released more than a year ago, there is no way any of the new 2024 devices will ship with this version (or lower).

Sounds about right to me. Kindles are usually shipped with .0 firmwares. It is only updates that are non-.0

(also, bin files for these .0 updates are not available through the Amazon website)
