Of course jailbreak is required.

Installation :

- unpack archive
- copy update_ss_0.26.N_k4w_install.bin and data.tar.gz to your Kindle
- update from settings menu
- reboot from settings menu

Cheers
Hi, absolute noob here but.. what exactly does that entail? Everything in this thread is incredibly fucking confusing and I have no idea what that implys.

Jailbreak means root access or access to diagnostics mode, right? Why would I need that if this file you made just works through updating?

Thanks if you feel like helping a lowly nub..

Edit: Nvm.. this https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=240 post explained. Your update is self-signed so otherwise the kindle won't accept it.

Then my next question that I probably already know would be whether theres a safe way to jailbreak thats not full of developer jargon.. bah.


Double Awesome edit:
Found a very simplified explanation on hacking it
I've inserted your hack into the Kindle NT hacking wiki page here:https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking
It would be super cool if you could explain more about how it works, for example, whether inserted images require a special name, or the danger of bricking.
