I will let you know as soon as I'm ready.

Thanks Wingsnail, if you have not found the link, the main thread for software jailbreak is this.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877

When we have figured out what we want you to try to check for us on first boot, here are the details of the changes you need to make form that thread.

Steps 1 - 3 are what we are working on now in this thread

Step 4 is the part where you install my custom package, and I expect it to work, but this is the place where it may not work.
I have tested this in various combinations on my own device, so I believe it is safe, but there's always a small chance when you are the first to try on real pw3-32.

The normal comments on here that these factory release are not meant to be used for day-to-day purposes are even more important for you using this custom, you will want to make sure you get to step 7 quickly.

Step 4 can normally take 10-20 minutes where the screen doesn't change, so don't panic yet.

If step 4 fails, stop and come back here to describe the symptoms. Don't try to reboot the kindle or anything else.

Step 5 will work the same once you did step 4 - this is the step that lets the jailbreak stay when you update to normal software.

Step 6 you will need the updated version that I have in another thread, I can link you to that later.

Step 7, this is where you install a normal software on your device. I would recommend version 5.8.7, as it appears to have full support for pw3-32gb, and it is packaged in a way that if it does not, it won't hurt your kindle. this is also the most recent version where you can start over at step 4 easily.

Step 8 - Once you have done step 7, this is the same as any other PW3, though some people packages may not be built to include the PW3-32GB device types, I can show you how to re-package them so they work.
