It should survive, unless Amazon has decided to start wiping the fixme script? (/var/local/system/fixup) |

I'm not turning on wifi until I know it's safe.

It is only a way to preserve a jailbreak, and may be unnecessary. Maybe someone with a PW2 and familiar with a serial port can test it. I think people will want to avoid the update anyway, at least until things have settled down. Like, A LOT. War isn't fun. |

@eschwartz/@kaznelzon:
The bridge does the job, at the very least for the JB itself, so, for now, no need to resort to that . What we haven't confirmed, since the only feedback we've had was from someone with an outdated bridge, is whether MKK survives the trip . |

My wife's PW2 is on 5.4.3 -- it is at this point not JB'n as she doesn't want / care about the hacks. So, if I JB it and add hacks and then update and lose the hacks permanently it will be no loss. If I can convince her to let me play with it, what would you like to know and in what order? |

ETA - downloading and installing the update now. ETA2 - after applying the update and it rebooted, I saw ***MKK JB*** and then it rebooted again. ETA3 - I am in and have verified 5.6.1., backdoorlock and "folder" still in place. Last edited by pghaworth; 11-16-2014 at 03:21 PM. |
