Doubt about factory version
Hi,
I have a new kindle pw3 with serial G090G1. It came from factory with firmware 5.7.3.1 and not 5.7.4. I tried the jailbreak, but after copying the jailbreak and typing ;installHtml it does not work (nothing happens). Do I need to upgrade it to 5.7.4. I am unsure because it is not a downgrade, rather an upgrade... Better ask now than after it is broken. Thanks a lot, Rafael |

It IS the difference between "Factory" and "Consumer" firmware. Yes, I am getting very tired of answering this one. Sometimes more than once a day. |

Download your model's initial factory firmware image to your computer from one of these (IPv4 only) links. Then: PW3 factory_PW3_5.7.4_initial factory_PW3_5.7.4_md5 So, just to confirm. I need to downgrade to 5.5 firmware? |

Just to register information: KV. Updated to 5.8.7. JB survived as expected. USBNetwork works fine after reinstalling the MR package.

Use the serial number shown in settings -> device info (also shown in your Amazon account). With the actual serial number, complete step #1 and you will have your answer. - - - - - If you meant: 9053, the alternate serial number to B053 - the answer: No The installation of factory firmware image will work (it isn't model locked). The installation of the jailbreak certificate will work (it isn't packaged). But the hotfix (which you MUST have) will not work, it isn't packaged for you model. And it can't be packaged for your model until KindleTool is updated. And the KindleTool maintainer is away at school. Use the 30 day, no questions asked, Amazon policy to exchange it for a PW3.
