After about 15 more minutes it booted to the GUI. It has minor damage to the frontlight, but looks fine with the brightness turned way down. It has a LOT of books on it. It is still registered. It does not (yet) have a wifi connection. It has old firmware (older than 5.6.5).

I backed up the userstore. It is now updating to 5.6.5 (from my link above). As soon as that is complete, I will apply this JB. It worked on my PW3, so I am confident that it will work on this PW2 as well.

Update complete -- rebooting. FW 5.6.5 confirmed. Installing JB from first post in this thread. Opened experimental browser -- it is tring to load a "flight status" web page for spokaneairports.net -- interesting. Loaded file:///mnt/us/jb.html, long delay, no "jailbreak" message, but instead error popup "Application Error. The selected application could not be started. Please try again."

Device Info shows: FW "Kindle 5.6.5 (2730300038)", SN "B0D4************".

I will rerun the jailbreak. It worked on my PW3, so I wonder why problems on the PW2. His needs further study (or a serial jailbreak)...

My content is identical to the screenshot posted by Belenos above, except no ".active-content-data" folder, and an additional "system" folder.

I just restarted and then did the JB again. Same problem. A long delay followed by an error message. I wonder why this JB would work on my PW3, but NOT on my PW2. Perhaps the JB is dependent on a particular data alignment that is different on the PW2? If so, perhaps an "adjustment" might make the JB work for the PW2 as well...

The system folder is hidden, and here's the content of my wininfo
