Well, you are in "well known territory", so let me give it a shot -
0) Put the device in "Airplane Mode"
**NOW**
1) Our Device Jailbreak does not handle the FW 5.3.6, so . . .
In the PW jailbreak thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=198446
See the section headed "Firmware 5.3.3 and 5.3.6" -
There you will find a link to an off-site archive of Amazon image file releases, I suggest getting the FW 5.3.4 image.
Follow the usual Amazon "update" procedure to "update" to the earlier firmware release.
2) Still in the PW jailbreak thread:
Now follow the directions to install the Device Jailbreak (and all of the extras that are included in a default install).
3) (Optional) You will probably want other additions to your Kindle before you are done with it, so
Go to the KUAL thread -
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=203326
Follow the directions -
(and get prerequisites bundle of installers and the KUAL application itself, plus the "helper" package).
The "prerequisites" installer will install the things needed not only by KUAL, but everything needed for any of our other add-in packages.
4) Return to this thread to install the screensaver hack
5) Now decide if you want to remain in "Airplane Mode" forever (to prevent Amazon from breaking your customized Kindle with a forced update to 5.3.6)
There are KUAL buttons that you can add-in that help manage the forced updates, like the BackdoorLock and the BBB-Firewall (Block Big Brother).
You may want those also.
