@ledeze: last != first .
We need the *first* 4 characters of the SN, not the last . EDIT: And, guess what? I missed a new page, once again. . Last edited by NiLuJe; 08-13-2014 at 03:22 PM. |

I guess I am really out to lunch... The first 4 digits are 9017.
BTW, I had purchased 2 Kindles together that arrived today. The second one was untouched yet. So I turn it ON, set it up, and found out that the option to 'Update Your Kindle' is greyed out, out of the box, meaning without even attempting to jailbreak it. The SN also starts with 9017. Is there something with this batch? Or Belgium?? Many thanks for your assistance!! |

It is always grayed out, unless there is an update on the device.
Just use the update from the snapshots. |

I'm so sorry that i mistake the SN.
the SN is 9017 and the firmware is 5.4.5.1 .my kindle is bought in china。 I downgrade the fm to 5.4.3.2 and then use the packet in the snapshot .The "jailbreak" appears at the bottom of the screen .But when i tried to install KPVBooklet, the .bin file is deleted and the "Update Your Kindle" link stays grayed out. so what should i do? is this kind of kindle's mechanism that it delete the .bin files copied in its root dir?

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225030 Yes, it is a safety protection from installing a .bin file not intended for that model. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=237083 Packages are both "model locked" and "digitally signed" - Mis-match of model or bad signature - update file gets discarded.

Real quick clarification please:
After unzipping the kindle-5.4-jailbreak, there are 3 files in the folder: the .bin and 2 .sh files that read "bridge.sh" and "jb.sh" Am I sappost to archive all 3 files or only the .bin???? Sorry if this question has already been answered but I couldn't find it in the 73 pages :/ |

@WorldofPain-
Sorry you read all 73 pages, you only needed to read the first post! Yes, you place the contents of that zip file (all three files) into the root directory of your kindle...eject...restart via menu/settings/etc. ****I see I'm redundant once again...Good Morning @knc1 !! |

5.4.5.1 wiped out my screensavers
My paperwhite was JB for the screensaver hack and had been working perfectly until today. It automatically updaded to 5.4.5.1 and the screensavers are back to the old ones. A little help?

Re-install the screensavers hack.
Updates wipe out all hacks. This is expected. The update contains a full system image of a vanilla firmware. The jailbreak does not need to be re-installed. All your settings will still be there. Last edited by eschwartz; 08-15-2014 at 03:21 PM. |

The Backdoor Lock does not require KUAL, but I recommend that you install KUAL (and its MKK requirement) - KUAL makes a lot of things easier to control (screensavers, backdoor lock, etc). |
