It is optional.
That is why I wrote "consider unsubscribing" in the sentence.
This jailbreak procedure is compatible with S.O. devices.
Also with passcode (or password) protected Kindles.
BUT
Recovery from a boot-time loop
IS NOT compatible with either feature.
In the case of S.O. devices, the system does not export the USB drive
during boot up until you have 'stroked' (or 'swiped') the screen.
But in the case of a boot-time loop, the system never gets far enough to recognize the 'stroke' (or 'swipe').
In the case of a Passcode protected Kindle, the situation is similar.
No
boot time export of the USB drive until the Passcode is entered but the system never gets far enough for a person to enter the Passcode.
The path of Current version -> Factory Initial -> 5.6.5 -> Something newer will not be any different, because it is the re-booting into the Factory Initial which breaks.
One more note:
Seems only to apply to the factory_PW3_5.6.1.1 package -
which we removed from distribution for these very reasons.
At least we did once all the Kindles in China where bricked.
Perhaps a little bit of Doukan karma at work there.
