Hello!
As i wrote in the title of the topic, I don't have a Jailbroken Kindle. I don't want to have it updated because I want to jailbreak it in the future, I don't have time to do it now.
Regarding sideloading books, I have been doing it. But as I said, I need to turn on the wifi at least 5 min daily because there is a news clipping I'm paying the subscription that daily send me some pdocs.

I swear you I read all pages on this thread and even then I couldn't find the IPs. Is it inside the files? I also downloaded the files but I could not find the IPs.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look in it. But this is supposed to work in a non-jailbroken device?




BTW, no one knows the name of the file through Amazon update the Kindle? I'm thinking that the easiest solution for me, beside discovering Amazon IPs, would be deleting the update file everyday after I turn on the WiFi device; this way Kindle would have to restart the download every time I turn on the WiFi, but since I'll only turn it on for 5 minutes a day, they will never be able to complete the download.

EDIT: @eschwartz, in another thread, has indicated me to a thread in which my solutions seems to be.
It seems to be the same solution that @oblox suggested above, and it is supposed to work in a non-jailbroken device.

I will copy the relevant parts of the thread in case anyone in the future want to prevent Kindle from updating in a non-jailbroken device. I have not yet tested it. I don't know in which devices and firmware versions it will work.. The link is: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=3254996

The other two -
They are both the same sad song, only the names have been changed
In the top level of user storage, as seen over the USB cable when connected to a computer (no jb required):
UPDATE~.BIN
This file name is one used by the OTA update process, the update_*whatever*.bin is renamed to this name to be processed.

Create a folder by this name - all uppercase, with the ~ and the uppercase extension.
Enter the folder and create a file by the name:
.keepme
Yes, the first character is a period.

Uncertain if any versions of the firmware can detect and circumvent this one.
testWrite.txt
Capitalization exactly as shown.

Create a folder by this name.
Enter the folder and create a file by the name:
.keepme
Yes, the first character is a period.

What effect this has on the update process, if any, is unknown.
But it certainly makes the indexer get its panties in a bunch.
(Your books may not get indexed - but the 5.6.x indexer does not get caught in a loop as in earlier firmware versions.)

Going by the ;dm log files, there are a lot of things that use this hard-coded file-name to discover if user storage is writable.

I actually expected this one to crash my PW-3 - - but it hasn't yet.
