Q1) What model is your kindle?
As per subject line, it's a K4NT. And in the main text I said "bought in UK".

Q2) Which of the many different data.tar.gz files did you use?
I use the one linked to in the various threads mentioning ixtab's method.

Q3) Did you use a "jailbreak" payload that leaves visible evidence behind, such as a "Your kindle is jailbroken" document, or did you see a "splash screen" when it ran?
No splash screen, and no "you are jailbroken" book after restart. That's why I suspected the jailbreak didn't work

Quote:
Q4) Did you use a "universal payload" data.tar.gz designed to work on multiple kindle models?
Again, I googled Kindle 4 Non touch jailbreak and used the files from various threads mentioning ixtab's method.

Quote:
Some jailbreak payloads leave no evidence other that the "Update your kindle" menu item is enabled for developer "update*.bin" files.
I suspect it didn't work because after reboot I tried to install CoolReader, and during the reboot of that install, I got an "Update Error: 3, can't install"
