Hello again
![]() Like the title says, here's a FW 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 JailBreak! The payload is based on yifanlu's jailbreak, with a few tweaks to make it more Touch/PaperWhite centric, and a fantastic new delivery method discovered by yossarian17. So, as always, thanks to everyone involved in Touch & PaperWhite hacking, particularly yifanlu, ixtab, geekmaster, eureka & yossarian17 ![]() In addition, this is also the home of the FW 5.x (KT/PW/PW2/KT2/KV/PW3/KOA/KT3) port of the USBNetwork hack ![]() What Does It Do?: The JailBreak, while fairly unintrusive itself, opens the door to pretty much everything you'll find on this forum ![]() As for USBNetwork, besides bundling a couple of useful tools, it will grant you remote shell access to your Kindle, be it over USB or WiFi. Latest Updates (06/04/2019): JailBreak v1.15.N (Rescued by a Wizard!), USBNetwork v0.22.N (Updated binaries, ship some more tools). PSA: All downloads have been moved to the Snapshots thread! IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING JAILBREAK UPDATES: Spoiler:
Notice to FW >= 5.4.5 users: Spoiler:
IMPORTANT notice regarding FW >= 5.6.0: As with the previous notice, this JailBreak obviously won't work on these new versions (but don't despair, we know have a universal solution, via a factory downgrade ![]() That said, it does survive an update to >= 5.6.x, provided your JailBreak is up to date (see the update notice earlier in this post. Take particular notice of the comment about factory resets). Do note that running FW >= 5.6.x implies a number of restrictions, though: (easy) downgrade to a production firmware is now impossible, and, more importantly, you will NOT be able to install custom update packages through usual means, no matter the state of your JailBreak. Fortunately, the MR Package Installer will help with that last fact ![]() Moreover, this (as well as the following) FW series introduces some significant changes which may break some custom code, especially if it affects the UI. TL;DR: If you do intend to update, you absolutely MUST make sure your JailBreak is up to date BEFORE applying the official update! Given that the required changes in the JailBreak are very new, you generally WILL have to take action. NOTE: If you had the misfortune of getting a silent OTA update to FW >= 5.6.x while running an outdated JailBreak, all is not lost, you should be able to get everything back up without jumping through too many hoops ![]() IMPORTANT: I have to insist on the fact that on FW >= 5.5.x, using MRPI is REQUIRED to install custom packages! ATTN: NEW Factory Downgrade OR 5.6.5 JailBreak USERS If you've just successfully ran Branch Delay's Factory JailBreak or 5.6.5 JailBreak, you can safely skim/disregard most everything in this post and simply follow these specific instructions: Start by simply installing the JB hotfix. This will take care of the basics. After that, you will NEED to use MRPI to install any and all other custom update packages. INSTALL: Jailbreak: Spoiler:

This is the previous version of the first post, kept here for archival. DO NOT FOLLOW IT.
Hello again ![]() Like the title says, here's a FW 5.1.x & 5.2.0 JailBreak! It's heavily based on yifanlu's jailbreak, with a few tweaks to make it more Touch/PaperWhite centric, and an updated delivery method for FW 5.1.x & 5.2.0 ![]() ![]() In addition, this is also the home of the K5 (Touch/PaperWhite) port of the USBNetwork hack ![]() Help! My Kindle is running FW 5.3.x! PaperWhite: Don't Panic! You too can now enjoy a jailbroken device! Check out ixtab's JailBreak HERE ![]() Touch: Check ixtab's HowTo OR downgrade your device. Latest Updates (10/18/2013): JailBreak v1.7.N (Tries harder not to be screwed by the 5.3.x updates), USBNetwork v0.13.N (Updated binaries). INSTALL: Jailbreak: Spoiler:

So it means you've found the key for updates accepted by kernel/initramfs?

Thanks for finding and releasing this!
![]() Just a small suggestion: you may want to reformat the "Jailbreak" spoiler a bit, right now it looks as if all of it only applied to 5.0 users. |

@eureka: Nope, it's essentially the same good old thing, except with an updated delivery method for the data.tar.gz changes introduced in 5.1.0
![]() ![]() @ixtab: Yep, I was just thinking the exact same thing when looking at it... ![]() @all: And before someone asks, the interest here over the current usual JB method is user-friendliness: a single file, a single reboot, no need to play with the diags tools ![]() Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-31-2012 at 03:52 PM. |

@eureka: Yeah, the date in the 'Latest Updates' in the first post is not a typo, it's roughly when we first discussed it over PM with GM & ixtab, and when the accompanying backend stuff was released

Nice to know about inner circle of developers. Secrets, conspiracy... Not sure if paranoid or just visitor of Kindle Developer's Corner
![]() EDIT: oops, it could be misread. I'm not accusing anybody here, it's a self-irony joke (I'm the visitor). Not sure if paranoid or just have a valid concern ![]() Last edited by eureka; 07-31-2012 at 05:04 PM. |

That is weird. I do not see that in any of my web browsers. It looks like you have a corrupted browser cache.
Did you try viewing it with a different web browser? Did you try deleting your browser cache files? I remember years ago needing to also manually delete a windows .DLL file that was really a renamed icon cache archive file. Perhaps you have a similar problem? What web browser are you using when you see this problem? http://ask-leo.com/whats_a_browser_c...i_want_to.html Quote:
This page shows a similar "wrong icons on web page" problem being fixed by removing malware from the computer: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norto...es/td-p/192852 Last edited by geekmaster; 08-02-2012 at 08:10 AM. |
