Is there anyone willing to start it? I would volunteer, but I'm sure there are more qualified contributors than me. I'm eager to post what I've found so far and see what else has turned up!

Just use the pw2 prefix tag and a single subject (topic) line.

Let the prefix filter group them.

Sorry for my ignorance, will it affect the warranty? Is it easy to roll back (I'm talking about the PW2)?

Technically yes but there's a uninstall.bin, provided and anyway I believe that Amazon doesn't bother to check returned devices

On warranty exchanges,
Amazon ships your new one before you return your present one.

And most likely, when they do get your present one, it goes directly into the refurbish bin.

Manpower is too expensive and the Kindles are too cheap to afford inspecting returns.

Does this work with the 2nd Gen Paperwhite?

Can't be that easy as download, unzip, run...

Yolina · 11-23-2013, 01:29 PM

From the 1st post on the thread:

Quote:

New delivery method, PW2 support!

INSTALL:

Download the attached kindle-jailbreak-1.8.N.zip file, and unpack it. In here, you'll find a few files.
Unzip the contents of the kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip archive to the root directory of your Kindle.

Now, eject your Kindle, and go to [HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Update Your Kindle. The updater won't actually ever run, this is normal. After a few seconds, the words **** JAILBREAK **** will appear at the bottom of your screen to confirm that the device is jailbroken .

And that's it, your Kindle is now ready to install custom hacks!

So erm yeah, it's that easy and works on the PW2

GatorDeb · 11-23-2013, 01:29 PM

Wow that was easy. I haven't Jailbroken a Kindle since the Kindle 1. Now off to find out what I can do with it.... lol

NiLuJe · 11-23-2013, 01:51 PM

Updated packages. Now works on the PW2 3G EU (thanks to tuzhif for making us aware of that fact on irc

).

I also updated the doc to ask for feedback in case this happens again (which it will, we're missing some 3G models from around the world right now

).

NiLuJe · 11-23-2013, 01:59 PM

@kaznelson: Please check if the new USBnet snapshots behave any better

.

New USBnet snapshot:
- Error "N E failed to set usb0 to ip, this is bad" are not present now.
- After the message "N stopping sshd" PW2 is connected as a disk.

Thanks!

NiLuJe · 11-23-2013, 04:23 PM

Fantastic!

(That comment wasn't completely inspired from the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. Nope. Not at all.

Well... post the first 4 characters of your device's serial number. If they're B05A, then I would assume that your device is already supported.
