This method works regardless of which jailbreak you installed (NiLuJe's one for 5.2.0, or ixtab's one for 5.2.0/5.3.X), and will also remove the rescue pack and jailbreak bridge (if installed).
The net result is that your Kindle will be just like a factory-fresh device - all modifications ever installed, including jailbreak and user-installed ones, will be removed. |
Thank you ixtab for this very simple method. I guess that this was worked out in the time of PW1.
I have tested it on my recently bought PW2 and it worked only partially: i.e it looked like the factory reset ("Reset device") did the job, but after that the "Update your Kindle" line was greyed-out disregard which offifical update I was copying to the Kindle root. I have tried with both 5.4.2 and 5.4.3.1. It might probably work, but only with a newer update, whenever that will be released.
So, now I have a "nearly un-jailbroken" device. This doesn't bother me too much for the moment since I intend to jailbreak my PW2 again very soon. Trying to "un-jailbreak" your way was only an experiment and just wanted to report here for the owners of PW2.
Prior to this test I was running FW 5.4.3.1. jailbroken just one week ago with the latest files, also having installed the rescue pack, plus mkk and Kual with a few extensions Kindlets.
