Kindle PW1 Reset Device option-What it does

ninadb · 01-08-2021, 05:45 AM

Hi

I have Kindle PW1 still functioning very well for the past 7 years
I had a questions as to what does the Reset Device option do although it gives a warning all content will be deleted

1. The device is jailbroken-Will the reset un jailbreak it
2. I have also installed KOreader but it is very slow and has not worked well--Will this reset also delete this installation
3. What level is the device restored to after a reset

Thanks
Ninad

especially the bottom of the first post.

Bottom line:
Reset does remove jailbreak. If you have the most recent hotfix installed before the reset, the jailbreak can be restored, but with some work.
