Possible to know whether Kindle (Oasis/Paperwhite) is jailbreakable before buying?
Hello.
Sorry for making a thread about this but I tried searching and couldn't find and I am at my wit's end. I am looking to buy a Kindle Oasis or Paperwhite but I have no idea about what model number or firmware it is going to have by looking at the Amazon page. For example, the product is called "All-New Kindle Oasis (10th Gen)". Any idea if I can know beforehand whether the device is possible to jailbreak without buying it first? I would have preferred to buy a Kobo but they are not available here in India. If anyone wants to suggest any non-Kindle ebook readers that are compatible with Koreader I would appreciate that as well. Thanks. |

If you buy used from, say, eBay, you can ask seller what firmware version it's running on and ask them to leave it on airplane mode for you |

I recently bought a full new Oasis 2. According to the store, there are no batches produced after 2018. So the firmware version is low enough to jailbreak. My device is initially at 5.9.0.6.

If you want a final firmware version less than 5.10.3 you need to do the original Oasis 2 jailbreak https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=292337 if you can get a copy of the factory firmware. If 5.10.3 or later is OK, you can do kindlebreak https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=338268 |
