Thanks, in the root folder of the kindle I have the following files:

ChangeLog.txt
README
README.txt
VERSION
WHERE_ARE_THE_SOURCES.txt
kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip
update_jailbreak_1.8.N_uninstall.bin
update_jailbreak_bridge_1.8.N_install.bin



I think it is correct, isn't it right?


the only doubt, I used the Mac to put the file inside, maybe some hidden file starting with "." could be inside. Could it be a problem?

@ewandeep: Nope, you don't need any of that, you need the *contents* of the kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip archive, not this one, nor the archive itself .

@Jiri: Check the previous page for my first answer to @ewandeep .

Thank you, I was very stupid to misunderstand the readme....

Just a last thing to avoid to brick my kindle.

After the jailbreak, I have to install kindlet in order to install KUAL.
Is that the right file: update_kindlet-dev-20130710-k5-ALL_install.bin?
I wonder if it is the same also for Kindle Paperwhite 2?

@ewandeep: Yes . Usually, by 'K5', we mean the whole family of devices running FW 5.x (Touch/PW1/PW2).

PW2 Can't Jailbreak

Hey Guys

Thanks for your help in advance!

I can't jailbreak after unzipping the files into the directory - the "Update your Kindle" link stays grayed out.

Model: Paperwhite 2 Wi-Fi
Serial: B0D4
Country: Australia
FW: 5.4.0

Just double checking I've extracted the contents of the kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip file to the right place - when the kindle is mounted, extracted directly into this folder, not the system or documents folder?

Thanks!

@NiLuJe

I had some files that calibre had left in the root directory.

After I moved these out temporarily after your advice, and then re-tried the process, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks again for your time and patience!

Cheers!

Just send it back, Amazon doesn't care if it's jailbroken or not. It would be a massive waste of time and manpower to analyze every Kindle that comes back. If it is to be refurbished, they'll just dump a new FW image on it anyway.

That said, there is an *_uninstall.bin file in the JB archive you downloaded. Put it on the Kindle and update it, and the jailbreak is gone. Surprisingly simple, eh?

Device: Kindle PW2 5.4.2
'Jailbreak' sign and then back-up

Hi,

I have a PW2 90D4 with firmware 5.4.2. Bought in Australia.

I tried to get a grip on how to do the Jailbreak before I even turned on my new toy. I lost track of where I read what (I had to start way back at 'what can a Kindle can do'). Then I decided I will have to see if it all becomes clear while I actually do the jailbreak (and steps after that).

My first question is should " **** JAILBREAK **** " remain visible?

It appeared on my Kindle screen as expected. I restarted my Kindle, looked in Settings, and the Jailbreak text was gone. I plugged the Kindle back into my Linux laptop. The 'Kindle' directory appeared to be as it was before I extracted the files into it.
So I did a 'Reset Device' and repeated the above with the same result. During this second time I also enabled wi-fi and registered my device (not sure on the order I did these things - it was one whole hour ago ).

I decided I should probably ask silly questions before I brick my new toy.

If by chance I am on target, could you please point me to the steps to back-up my kindle in case I do brick it? Part of my confusion is around what I should be doing regarding the rescue pack, my version, and the scary 'README_FIRST' in the kindle-usbnet-0.15.N.zip file.

Thank you for reading. Sorry if I have missed the obvious.

@blamwham: Nope, it's a one time message to give visual feedback that the JB process 'took' .

As for the rest, the wiki might be a good place to start.
