2. Update your Kindle using the official 5.3.2 update from Amazon. You will end up with a jailbroken KT 5.3.2. Last edited by ixtab; 02-17-2013 at 05:14 PM. |

Worked on my black K4
I can confirm that this method worked on my black K4 (using a Lenovo laptop normally running Win7 64).
My kindle was not bricked, so there was nothing to fix, only wanted a clean installation after playing around with it. The most tricky thing was getting it in USB download mode (thick fingers...). The instructions are very clear and easy. Afterwards I had to reinstall the kindlet-jb to get KUAL working again (guess that is normal). Thanks, appreciate all your effort! ![]() |

What about configuring autologin and launching the app from .bashrc ?
THAT would make the liveCD truly user friendly. http://www.pell.portland.or.us/~orc/Code/plugh/ |

I would like to try this - got a virgin 5.3.2 that is registered and got a few books on it. Was just wondering if this might work on a usb stick? Unless you say it definately cannot work from usb stick, then I won't even try and go dig out a cd.

... or, if you're confident about what your're doing and have at least a bit of Linux experience, you can try the way that is described in the "Technical stuff" spoiler in the first post. This definitely works, but as said it requires a few actions, and a little bit of understanding of what you're doing.
So, I suggest to try the other options first, maybe one of them works. And please report back. |

Success without needing VM or CD
Quote:
... there were a few complications. It definitely is not a noobish quest, as you wanted to hear about from your technical spoiler. Burning the iso to the usb-stick went without problem. I used a fresh copy of win32diskimager - it wants to burn *.img files, so I selected *.* and picked the extracted iso from first post, then write, and done. Rebooting, select usb-disk to boot from, and it starts. Log in as root, and the autostart.sh failed. Apparently as it started from a usb device, it thinks that a usb-stick version is booted up. Since it techincally is still a live-cd, it needs some convincing - basically needs the entire autostart.sh manually redone with the correct device. In my case the usb-sticks partition was in /dev/sdb1 - mounted that to /media/cdrom, then followed the clear instructions in autostart.sh to replicate the rest - mounting java.sds, linking kubrick, starting kubrick. Then I went and "debricked" my 5.3.2, chose the jailbreak option, reboot. The reboot did not work correctly as it complained that it could not unmount everything. Oh well, hard reboot computer then, back to windows, copy over the update file for 5.3.2. Now I have a jailbroke 5.3.2 - no need to mess with a VM (don't have one) or waste a cd on burning it to cd.. In short, if you want easy, download the iso file, burn it onto a cd (rw), boot into it and it goes waaaaaaaaaay easier than burning it into a usb-stick directly. |

Failed Jailbreak: Kindle in diagnose mode
At least I've burn a cd-rw.
Everythins has been OK, until the moment of flashing the main partition. The green bar after 2 or 3 seconds turns to red telling: "failed" (I've been waiting for fifteen minutes without success). I've tried 2 more times with the same result: "failed" when is on the screen: "we are now flashing the main partition. This will probably take between 3 and 10 minutes" The kindle remains in Diagnostic Mode. I've tried pushing the power button for 20 seconds, choosing "reboot system" in the diagnose menu. ![]() I must say that my KT has the 5.3.2 firmware and has never had jailbreak |
