I sure can do these manually. so someone just tell me what should be done to jailbreak?
Hello, my name is Jimmy and I am also trying to serial jailbreak my kindle that I accidentally updated to 5.8.10. I took a look at these websites that shows you how to remove the root password,

So I ordered the TLL adapter which arrived today. I just realized what to do after I remove the root password. Where do I find the jailbreak files for my kindle? Would you mind sharing with me your jailbreak files and how you did it?

Many thanks.
