But I don't think I'll be able to return a second bricked unit, so due to the current risk and murky situation I'll have to leave mine as is for now.
If everyone who bought a kindle was willing to sacrifice their first one (Knowing they could return it for a replacement) We might be able to figure out what the pattern of success was



Ah okay, so at the moment we just don't know why some are working, yet some aren't? Totally understand why it's being suggested to not attempt at the moment then.


Thanks the both of you for all the advise and explanations - if I can give you any more information that'll help, let me know!
There is always the fall-back to using the serial port, except for the two Oasis models.

Somehow I missed that one, I think we have to call that one a typo of the version number.

Yeah I'll wait it out until we have more information, can't risk a second brick as I'm pretty sure the store I purchased from wont replace it a second time.
I have started asking people to post, in public, the full details of the device they are attempting to jail break and the results.

Perhaps a pattern will emerge.

Also, as time allows, I think I will start posting the directions I write up on one of my own sites.
Hmm...
Probably on Kindel network connection (knetconnect, I am the first member there, so: knc1 (twobob was the second member knc2) )
Why "network connection"? Because we had VoIP for the Kindle Touch and where going to let Kindle users connect over a private network with each other - which got 86'd by Amazon dropping audio support.
Now it is just a bit of Kindle development trivia
