Device: Kindle Paperwhite e-book
Several weeks ago I installed the jailbreak 1.6.N on my Paperwhite. A new book appeared confirming that my device was jailbroken.
I thought I might have to exchange my paperwhite for a new one (screen issues) and I attempted to uninstall the jailbreak without sucess. I was advised (don't remember who) to just reset the device which I did. Everythings works as normal.
I found out the screen issues I had were normal (Shadows at the bottom by the LEDS) so I kept what I had and attemped to do the jailbreak again. After several attemps, following the insturctions exactly, the jailbreak doesn't take. I have version 5.2.0. I copied the data.tar.gx to the kindle root directory, removed the USB cable and Home-Menu-Settings-Menu-Restart and the jailbreak doesn't take. Tried the Restart several times in a row.No new book appears saying my device was jailbroken and the data.tar.gz still shows in the Kindle root.....
Any Ideas????
