Hello!
Thank you for this tutorial! Im not sure if i missed something, but i don't know how to access shell after completing all steps... Anyone have an idea? My main (first) goal after jailbreak is make possible to install custom screensaver images. |

Can I use this techniques to Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32GB version?
Also, After jailbreak, Is it possible to play audio file, like mp3 or m4a by using headphone? |

Alright.
Is jail breaking a 10th gen KT on 5.15.1.1 still a no go? Cheers |

Does this hack now replace the one in this thread, or are they different?

WatchThis precedes languageBreak. Which one to use depends on what your current firmware version is. |

Long-time 5.14.2 jailbroken KOA2 user, is there any benefit to updating to 5.16.2.1.1 + new jailbreak? E.g., any benefits to the newer firmware, or just sit tight at 5.14.2?

- update to the official firmware (copied it to the root of the kindle, then rebooted, the 'update your kindle' option never showed up). - update mrpackages (by replacing extensions/MRinstaller with the newest version, I hadn't updated this since the original jailbreak) - update hotfix - I did this by putting the hotfix bin in /mrpackages and using ;log mrpi. The update your kindle option didn't work (error after reboot/during install) - update KUAL - installed by using the coplate (non-hotfix) version and ;log mrpi. Note it installed successfully, then gave a r/o error, rebooted, and it was fine. A few errors along the way and trial and error, but AFAIK the jailbreak is working, KUAL is working, and we're solid. |

I have have a KOA2 with 5.14.2 firmware that I'm trying to jailbreak.
I got as far as the post-jailbreak step where you're supposed to install the "hotfix". I copied "Update_hotfix_watchthis_custom.bin" to the root of the Kindle storage but I can't run "Update your kindle" as it is permanently greyed out. I've tried re-starting but that hasn't helped. Any ideas? Thanks |
