Hi @mergen3107,
Many thanks for your detailed instructions. I have followed them to step 6 (all successful before with the FW version < 5.16.2.), which I am not sure how to do them: "Do not leave demo yet, install both Marek's and NiLuJe's hotfixes first." I assume the Marek's hotfixes are the .bin files in the same LB folder, while NiLuje's one is this file: JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip. Should I use the sideload content in the demo mode or should I redo the resell this device part to load these files? By the way, I won't be able to register my scribe to amazon, hope that is not the reason I can not successfully JB it. Thanks again. Best |

I had my Scribe jailbroken since Dec last year and realized only now that my device was always stuck in managed mode. I followed the directions at the end of the instructions to get out of managed mode but that just brought me to "Set up your kindle" and I couldn't find any reference to get out of that.
About to give up, I connected to my phone's hotspot to login thinking I have to create an account but sneaky Amazon downloaded the full update behind the scenes while I was merely logging in for the 20 seconds it took and of course upon reboot it force upgraded, I couldn't find a way to abort it or even turn it off. I'm now at 5.16.6.1. Guess it's time to sell it and find a new jail breakable one... |

Yes, JB and registration are independent

I tried today to jailbreak by oneclick file. After jailbreak didnt autorestart, I restarted Kindle and it updated to newest version, so no jailbreak for this Kindle! It probably get update in the mean time when I turned on wifi to get to Kindle store (button). Be aware!
I'm trying to jailbreak another kindle through normal procedure, it's pita, Kindle shown me an error and restarted. Will have to try again. |

I followed instruction very carefully, downloaded file 1.0.2.1 version of file, tried on 2 PW4 on firmware (updated manually) 5.16.2
Till 16 point everything is ok. Then: 17. You should be in a language selection menu in a few seconds 18. Choose Chinese (简体中文) (The one above the odd Pseudot language) At first try the last language is chinese, there is no pseudot language. 19. Your kindle should reboot and you should see some log message on the screen No log on screen or I don't know what exactly should I see. Post Jailbreak Code: 1. After the device has rebooted, type ;uzb into the search bar Done 2. Connect the device to a PC and copy update_hotfix_languagebreak-{language you want to end up with}.bin to the root of the Kindle storage Done. Chosen En-Gb 3. Eject the device and either enter ;dsts or swipe down and select the settings icon to enter the device settings menu Done 4. Select Update Your Kindle to install the custom hotfix Done 5. This will take your device out of demo mode and clean up unneeded jailbreak files. This restarts Kindle PW4, make update but it goes back to clean demo startup, I dont connect to wifi, I choose language CHinese (now there is Pseudot language below) and tried post Jailbreak again - ended with same demo mode. If I write ;demo in search bar and push right PW4 now enters this settings with Resell. Post Post Jailbreak Code: Stuck in chinese, demo or device is managed after jailbreak? All you need to do is ;demo => press the right button it should "enter demo" but it will actually reset into normal mode with English IT doesnt Seriously, I don't know what to do. I jailbroken many devices but there is something wrong with either me or instruction. Please help. |

I followed instruction step by step on Kindle PW4 with firmware 5.16.2.1
Everything went well till chosing language on demo - Chinese was last language (at first). When I did it , it restarted but there was no log message on screen, there was some ther text about amazon (on chinese so i dont know what it said). After reboot setup of demo started again and now chinese was 2 to last after Pseudot language. I thought, ok, maybe I need to do this 2nd time, but effect was -> back to demo. Writing ;demo and pushing -> showed me settings where Resell is. Is there anyone with PW4 that jailbroken it from 5.16.2.1? Please help, I jailbroken many devices (iphones, android phones or tablets) and this is frustrating. Thanks in advance |

I've tried to install it second time after Resell.
I even updated one Kindle to 5.16.2.1.1 as suggested, nothing. Oneclick install shows Kindle store error (on 5.15.1 at least it showed me a jailbreak button). I think , because Kindle updates itself faster than Jailbreak runs, and it wont run when there is a partialy downloaded update (even if it's 0 bytes). Couldn't it just delete this file? I will try again, but it takes a lot of time and I don't see anything different (thats probably 10 times aleread with different firmwares). |

Don't use the "One-click" variant. It doesn't work and as a bonus you risk getting a non-jailbreakable firmware downloaded (and later installed) while you're messing around with "one-click".

I dont use oneclick version now, I use latest from November and install manually.
3 times reinstalled hot fix on one PW4 and 2 times on 2nd one. 1. In LanguageBreak there is DONT CHECK BATTERY that dont work, i need to wait till batery is below 75% to click Resell. 2. When hotfix is installing (1,2,3rd time) there is an error(picture attached), and I'm back on chinese. I check , and there is no mkk folder. ![]() Last edited by Rauliki; Yesterday at 09:17 AM. |

One thing to keep in mind "resell" script on 11th gen Kindle's also requires the device to be currently charging, so don't unplug the USB cable. Not sure if the same is the case for 10th gen (like your PW4). It has been almost a year since I've read that script when I wanted to test returning a Kindle back into "shipping mode".
