Hi. I'm completely new to kindles, and have recently acquired what I think is known here as a KT2 - its serial number is 90C6, so according to the serial numbers table that makes it a Kindle Basic (2014); Amazon also calls it a 7th Generation Kindle. Its firmware is expected to be 5.6.5, and I've not even turned it on yet, let alone immediately sticking it in aeroplane mode (long story short this is my second KT2 this week). It's UK, English, if that makes a difference.
I've been back through pages and pages of this thread, as well as having filtered the Developer's Corner to the KT2-only posts, and honestly all the different names and versions are just completely confusing me. I'd really like to be certain of what's what before I accidentally screw up my new kindle, so would someone be kind enough to bear with me and answer the following questions please:
- Does this closed jailbreak work for a KT2 (fw 5.6.5); has someone tried/confirmed it on this particular model, will it just work because it's fw5.6.5, or am I guinea-pigging it?
- Assuming I install both the jailbreak and then the associated hotfix successfully, will the jailbreak survive an OTA update to fw5.7.4? Will I need to reinstall anything after this fw update - I think I read that the jb should hold, but that the hotfix step needs repeating?
- Similarly, does KUAL and its extensions such as MRPI work for the KT2? I'm assuming yes to KUAL as it states the later PW3 is supported, but double checking as it also says 'universal but with a caveat of not working on some earlier KT2 fw'. (I realise this point suggests an answer to my first question of yes the KT2 can be jailbroken, but I'm interested in the closed jb specifically).
- Is there an up to date list I've missed with add-ons known to work for the KT2? Again, I read the KUAL extensions thread, but the first post appears out of date, and I got lost in the many pages and different device names thereafter. I could try guinea pig testing some of them, but is that likely to be dangerous to my kindle if it fails or will it simply be a dead file that just doesn't work and I can delete it after via usb?
Thank you so much!
