Released v1.6.N, with dsmid's changes (thanks!)
That means there's no longer two set of install instructions, and it's a bit safer/faster for everyone . (@dsmid: Could you check if I missed something? I think I got everything you tweaked, and updated the docs accordingly, and it works on my 4.1 device, but one more pair of eyes can't hurt... ). |

I reviewed the changes (all seems to be correct) and even tried to install the jailbreak and everything went OK.
No issues at all, the spinner looks nice. |

@dsmid: Thanks for checking!
Also, next time I get an idea, like 'hey, the 10s countdown is nice, but wouldn't a spinner look neater?', remind me to check if eips can actually *print* all the characters needed for a spinner *before* going ahead and writing^Wstealing one... (It can't print backslashes, hence the ugly X in place of \). |

... and exactly why did you follow the instructions for the Kindle 4, when you have a Kindle 5? Next time, inform yourself before doing things.

If update is grayed out - you don't have the correct update file or it is in the wrong place. If none of the above helps, contact Amazon to have the Special Offers removed. Note: KUBRICK will let you re-install the Amazon OS It will not distrub the SO function - you may still have to contact Amazon to have those removed. |

Here's a thought. : You didn't do it right. "Kubrick" it and be done with your worries. That will do the work. Easy job. 15 mins at worst. |

Hold your horses, this jailbreak doesn't install anything to user store.
So it's perfectly OK if you can't find the linkjail folder. |

A salient point
Perhaps simply testing if you can install some user content would be a pertinent test. |
