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...

If you don't mind waiting, there is hope for a new jailbreak coming out in the future which should work on this version.
