"How" as in what steps you took, commands used, destinations of files, etc.
Like in: Details please.

1. JailBreak
2. pasted update_fonthack_0.4_pw2_install.bin and ReaderSDK-impl-en_GB.jar in root
3. update in setting menu
Can you explain what happened?

Hello,

I am trying to jailbreak your phone on my Paperwhite 2 using these instructions.

After extracting kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip to the root directory and updating it, my update your Kindle button is grayed out.

Can anyone help? It was at firmware 5.4.2.1

Thank you.

@sickopuppie: Unplug the toaster first.

SCNR.

More to the point, and provided the jumble of devices you alluded to is a mistake, check the FAQ in the first post, that exact issue is covered in detail in it.

I just jailbroke my Paperwhite (Firmware 5.3.9) to put in some new screensavers and I don't have a linkss/screensavers folder. I searched through the thread and couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know how to solve this?

NiLuJe · 02-25-2014, 07:18 PM

@Nilmandir: Yup, you're in the JailBreak thread. JB ≠ ScreenSavers hack

.

Check the dedicated thread.

Just reinstalled the jailbreak to my kindle touch and it worked flawlessly, thank you. It stopped working after that blasted infamous update 5.3.4 i think it was.. Also got the font hack to work again too.

If you *do* find your model in that list, see the next answer

I just got my new kindle in the mail.
It is a 3G PW2.
It was purchased and shipped to and from Canada.
The first four characters of its serial number are B0D6.

Cheers,

PW2, on a new firmware (5.4.3):
jailbreak bridge - not lost;
usbNetwork - works.

NiLuJe · 03-06-2014, 09:02 AM

@WilfordGrimley: Hurray! That was the last one, thanks

.

Will update everything when I get back home, in a couple of hours.

@kaznelson: Thanks for checking

NiLuJe · 03-06-2014, 07:27 PM

@WilfordGrimley: I just updated the snapshots. They should now handle your device.

I'll update the 'stable' releases later this month.

How to unistall Jailbreak 5.4.2.1 from device ?

After Jailbreaked KPW2 I unfortunately was delete two jailbreak folders. Then I think about unistall jailbreak and install it again

NiLuJe · 03-07-2014, 09:47 AM

@MarYo'lka: What folders? The K5 JB doesn't install anything user-visible.

MarYo'lka · 03-07-2014, 10:48 AM

Sorry, if I good remember that was three folders

- python
- extensions
- linkss

NiLuJe · 03-07-2014, 02:49 PM

@MarYo'lka: Those have nothing to do with the JailBreak. Just reinstall the corresponding hacks (Python, KUAL, whatever KUAL extensions you might have installed, and the ScreenSavers hack).

MarYo'lka · 03-07-2014, 03:43 PM

Yeah ... I did it and it works

Thx 4 help.
But I still think about... how to unistall jailbreak, so in the future.
