I've heard that if you want to downgrade, you need factory image.
Is there any chance that anyone have this factory image for paperwhite 11 (2021 ) ? Thanks! |

I'm having the same issue on KT2 FW 5.12.2. I tap the store icon and instead of rebooting, I get an Application Error. Any help? I redid the whole process multiple times to no avail.

Hello,
Newb here. I managed to jailbreak my Kindle 10th Gen (KT4) using WatchThis while my Kindle was on 5.14.2 and was all was well until yesterday I left my Wifi on (I have block OTA on from Kual Helper+) but some how the Kindle updated to 5.16.8. Is my jailbreak screwed? I do notice that if I reboot the device that it does show *****Jailbreak***** while booting up but have nothing when actually booted in the OS. Anyone have any advice? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong around didn't know where else to post. |

Hi everybody!
I followed all the instructions and managed to jailbreak my PW2 (5.12.2.2) earlier today. According to Step 5 of Post-Jailbreak, updating my device with this hotfix file should have brought my Kindle out of Demo mode. Problem is: It didn't. My PW2 seems to be stuck in demo and I can't find a way out. All advice I could find on this was to reset the device to factory settings. Since the jailbreak and everything else worked so far after a lot of headache I would prefer not to take this route and find a way to get out of the demo without losing everything I've done. Any tips / solutions? Thanks a lot! |

The step "Jailbreak -> 11." does not work. The device does not reboot when I click the "Store" button. I am stuck. Any idea what went wrong? I use Paperwhite 2 with 5.12.2.2

My guess would be errors in copying files from your computer to your Kindle.
Make a screenshot showing contents of Kindle drive and post the image here. |

Thanks a ton! After trying and failing with at least 2 other jailbreaking methods, this one finally worked for me and I'd have to recommend it to everyone else!

"Wi-Fi Settings Locked"
Hi all - trying to update old KT2 I had. Went through the tutorial and thought I had it when I saw the text messages about Jailbreak installing. But then I tried to install USBNetwork and/or KUAL and somehow it got stuck in some weird state.
Decided to do a factory reset via "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE", and went through the steps again. At step 10 of Jailbreak, I tap on the Store button, but it pops up: "Wi-Fi Settings Locked - This is a manged device..." So I don't think the Jailbreak is actually running, despite all of the files being there in the .demo folder. Any advice? I'll probably do another factory restore and try it again. Thanks! |
