But just to state it again: this jailbreak is for the Paperwhite only. It is not related with any other previous jailbreaks, and what worked previously doesn't automatically work now. |

Thanks, Ben *EDIT* Please ignore this. I pulled an idiot move and set my interface IP to that of the kindle, so I was basically reconnecting to myself. Doh! Last edited by Fmstrat; 01-02-2013 at 05:32 PM. |

I'm new to Kindle JB (but not all to linux OS's). As in my previous post, I immediately installed USBnet (as that's what I saw most everyone doing in most threads as a means to get to a root shell), however no luck with the standard passwords. Is there another way to get to a shell via diag? Thanks again, Ben *EDIT* Please ignore this.

@Fmstrat: waah, sorry. Ignore whatever I said. You're talking about the K3, and I'm totally focussed on the PW right now, and was assuming you were too. I can't really help with the K3, sorry - but at least I'll shut up now
EDIT: Hmm... but to add to my defense - this is a Paperwhite Jailbreak thread, not a K3 jailbreak thread. Last edited by ixtab; 01-02-2013 at 05:56 PM. |

ixtab,
Yikes! I really do not have any idea what kind of effort that took. I just know that I am not capable. I plan to try it out and I want to thank you for your work. Amazing!!! mikeyp |

Hi guys! I am finally getting my PW in a weeks' time. I am in Singapore so I had to buy it from an importer and he has offered to use his own Amazon account to disable ads for me.
My question is, if I jailbreak my device, will the ads come back? Or will it be permanently ads-free? Thanks! |

That one answer answered all the questions I had about the ads-free status. That it's device-specific and not bound to any Amazon account. And it's tied to your serial number of the device itself. |

2) To be ads-free, the Amazon database must be updated, two of the choices: A) If living in a country without the ad-support program, contact Amazon through your Kindle account - they will disable ads at their end. B) If living in a country which does have the ad-support program, contact Amazon through your Kindle account - pay the fee to have the ads disabled. |

This worked great on my Paperwhite FW5.31. So easy to use. Keep up the good work.

What's the word on Paperwhite with 5.3.2 firmware?
*Edit*: Sorry. I meant any unit with 5.3.2, including both Paperwhite or Touch. Last edited by mallums; 01-09-2013 at 09:07 PM. Reason: previously inaccurate question |
