Hi,

I have a kindle paperwhite 2, serial starts with 90D4. I have had it less than a year, and I last did a jailbreak on it with kindle jailbreak 1.10.N (according to the file I still have from when I did the jailbreak.) My kindle somehow automatically installed an update, and it is now running 5.6.1.0.2. I didn't read the hundreds of pages here, but on the last page someone said it wasn't possible to jailbreak the 5.6.1.0.2 without opening up the kindle. Is this the case even if my kindle was previously jailbroken? I don't do much with the jailbreak, just a screensaver hack, but I really liked it and was hoping to do more later. Am I out of luck? I found an FGA at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=237083 that says you are out of luck unless you were previously jailbroken. I was previously jailbroken, but if that only matters if you installed some special jailbreak app or something, I didn't do any of that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
