It is a rather advanced topic to be a starting point.
The goal is simple: store a file (about 300 bytes) in /etc/uks directory.
That part of the file system tree is not (or is not intended to be) accessible over the USB cable.
Nearly every jail break has used a different vector to get that file installed.
Reviewing the earlier jail breaks (they are all public source) would give a good idea of the things to be looked for in a particular firmware version.
The way things work here, in the case of a jail break, is that everyone works independently and not in public.
Nothing will be announced until something is ready for general use.
(I broke that rule with the KOA2, but that case is just a variation on this jb vector that has been published here for over 18 months.)
The reason for public silence about the work-in-progress is so Amazon/Lab126 does not get a head start on blocking the next-to-be jail break before it can be made ready for general public use.
With that in mind - - -
No, I haven't heard of anyone working on a jail break for 5.9.x on any device model.
