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

You first need to downgrade to the 5.5 factory image. Did you do that? See first post

It IS NOT the difference in version number.
It IS the difference between "Factory" and "Consumer" firmware.


Yes, I am getting very tired of answering this one.

Sorry, I am still confused. The line I read in the first post says:

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?

Hi guys I just bought a kindle the DSN starts with G090G

I have a question. Is this method is safe? I don't want to brick my kindle, is there a risk of brick?

My kindle is in 5.8.1 never updated

Follow step #1 completely and exactly - using the first SIX (not 5) characters of your device's serial number -
then ask your question again when you can tell us what model (by our nickname) you have.

hi, all.
I bought PaperWhite3 32GB (japan model) recently.

so if I can contribute something for finding method, I want to do it.

my model's S/N Prefix is G090LL.

thanks.

One of the models everything was initially tested on. I have one.
You are good to go with the directions in the first post.

Now if you had a PW3-32 you would have been in trouble.

Hi,

does anyone have any information if the jailbreak works on a Kindle Voyage 3G bought in Europe with S.No. 0953 09, Firmware Version 5.8.5.0.2

Thx for an answer.

That does not look like a serial number (serial numbers do not start with 0).
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.

So I checked on Amazon and on the device and the serial number starts 9053 09. Sorry for the typo, but I was still not able to locate it in the supported list.

Thanks for your time.
