Kindle Factory Image Generic Jailbreak
This post now by eschwartz.
This is a factory image specific tool to install the jailbreak/developer key into /etc/uks. In theory, this should be generic to all current Kindle factory images. If you don't have a factory image running on your Kindle, or you don't even know what that means, this will not work! Instructions:
Thanks to ixtab for the tar issue. See: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=1902438 Also knc1 for the downgrade and those that came before: NiLuJe, ixtab, yifanlu, geekmaster, everyone I missed. Original post: Spoiler:

This can simplify things, therefore making it safer as well. Thank you so much for your great contributions to this forum. Respect!

Super! (that is: en_IBM)
I noted that the procedure might become simpler in the future. I just wasn't expecting the future to be reached in the same day. ![]() |

Downgraded from 5.8.1 to factory, ran the above package, then ran NiLuJe's updated package. Installed and rebooted. Now updating back to 5.8.1. Please update the other guides to include this as a slightly easier, potentially safer method instead of 5.6.5 upgrade/old JB. Last edited by Branch Delay; 07-04-2016 at 03:39 PM. |

The current version was written in a hurry, and has received enough criticism that I would like to take my time with the next version. Hmm... (Paraphrased from the read me file with tongue held in-cheek ![]()
Well, other than the one (intentionally) typo'd command, that does sound a lot simpler. Thanks a lot for this - One downgrade + one jailbreak + one 'hotfix' == one jailbroken Kindle. I think I can write that up without too much help. Thanks a lot for your quick JB support of the factory images. And thanks to NiLuJe for a quick response to a 'hotfix' problem. Plus, of course, thanks to GM for updating our off-site recovery resource index. |

Last release. Someone else can take over if updates are needed. The method is trivial.

When we can update the jailbreak in the first post (one point of distribution), I would like to add a "classic" jailbreak splash screen, and perhaps a jailbreak document that can be viewed on the kindle ebook reader (similar to previous jailbreaks).
Though I can start now anyway (or somebody else who has more energy)... |

That is the 'hold wrist just right' thing - HTML documents must use the *.txt extension.
I got the idea from some of those consumer disabled search bar commands, which do it in ash scripting (mine uses Lua). |
