Maybe some combination disabling wifi on your access point or disconnect incoming internet, and trying "try again" and "Manage wifi" enough times will get you out of it. And maybe some reboots.)
Oh yeah this one wifi was enabled, but one time I was in airplane mode, and it also showed this. Honestly not sure why, obviously no OTA got downloaded, hell I even did it after using renameotabinary and it still showed this display (That's why I'm confused about it)

That depends on the firmware version. If it is equal or greater than 5.16.3 there is no jailbreak at this time. There is no way to know the version without turning it on.

You can guess it by looking at the serial number.

There are four groups of four characters in the serial number. You need the third group. It represents year, week, and day of manufacturing. Like 322X is year 2023, week 21, any day. If it’s that or lower, then you’re good, JB possible. If it is higher than that, then 90% that FW will be 5.16.3 or higher. Although some users reported that even late production Kindle had low firmwares too

I kept it around jailbreak-version so 5.16.2 and 5.16.2.0.1, not higher since if it was it would be useless!

You need the third group of four characters (currently crossed out) to know date of manufacturing.

But if you already turned on Kindle and connected to Wi-Fi, 99% it got updated to latest firmware. So this information is no longer useful

If they haven't logged in for Amazon not necessarily, mine didn't update since I couldn't log in

Thank you Sir, no still in the BOX and no plan to connect to WIFI yet. Looks like the factory FW is jailbreakable ! I will try to follow the Captive Wifi process to get pass through the setup and then will try the JB.

My goal is simple just KUAl and KOReader to read ePUBs

Go captive firmware, write ";demo" in the address bar after the browser launches, and if everything goes well when you tap "no" you should get kicked back in the main screen, with the men.

if you say "Go captive firmware" do you mean connect to WIFI like "xfinity" where internet is behind a login thus failing to login in would result in no internet and Kindly would just give up and let me to the main manu?

No it would show the login page, and instead of logging in, you tap ";demo" in the address bar (Deleting the current URL) and when yo have access to the main menu you put your kindle in airplane mode (Which actually let's you bypass it after, if you restart or such)

I got my kindle scribe from Amazon 7/12/2024 with fw 5.16.2

OK so I was able to JB, nstall KUAL and KOreader

here are few notes

1. disable your antivirus app, I was missing few files from the LanguageBreak package.
2. I have bypassed the login screen by connecting to "xfinitywifi" wifi. This opened the browser and I typed ";demo" into the address bar and followed LanguageBreak JB.

3. Then I installed MR Packages : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=251143

4. KUAL coplate: https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1...0240104.tar.xz

5. and KOreader: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases
