If somebody else wants to test for this - do
- Ensure your Kindle's browser has Internet access (however is normal for yourself)
- Put the jb file from the jb.zip archive in the root of user storage (alongside the 'document' folder)
Note: If you intend to do a 'factory reset' - put the file in-place AFTER doing the 'reset'.
(Some people have reported that the 'factory reset' is not required.)
- Do the 'eject/safely remove', un-plug cable dance
- in the Kindle's browser go-to openplayer.org
You will get the same starting page that you would when accessing that public server by IP address
The question is if it will jailbreak your Kindle this way.
If that fails, then try the domain/jb url given in the post above.
Please report on what happens in both cases. |
I have received private news that my public server is also working to jailbreak Kindles.
See:

So I expect this version (with a domain name, not an ip address) will also work, but have not had confirmation.
