Hello all,

I finally got my Kindle touch, with 5.1.0 installed in it. It looks like a nifty device

So I have 2 questions, I am not sure if it's a good place to ask them, so I am sorry if I did something wrong.

1-) I read quite long threads here but didn't really understand how to JB my KT 5.1.0. I read something about some tar.gz method and someone else mentioned that simple debricking method still works for 5.1.0. Is it this one: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170929

2-) Is there a working way to remove ads on my KT? I read something about it here : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=161263 . Is it this one, does it work at 5.1.0 ?

3-) I am a newbie about Kindle devices, so I really don't know what to do before doing some fancy stuff to my device. Can I just copy paste all the files in KT to my computer as a backup purpose in case something messed up? Can I just access to my KT via windows explorer (for windows), or do I need to use putty or other stuff?

Thanks a lot for your answers.
