Good morning. Gosh, I've just noticed I've not been here for SEVEN YEARS - wow, anyway, it's nice to be back again.
Okay, so I have a question, and I hope you can answer it concisely for me, as I am extremely Linux/bash proficient, but I am VERY rusty on the Kindle hacking front:
#1: I have a Kindle PaperWhite 3, Black, UK, 3GB, G090-G1- blah...
it came with 5.8.11
#2: After making the mistake of connecting my first Kindle PW3 to WiFi and it updating, I have learnt, got a new one, copied "update.bin.tmp.partial" empty DIR to root of storage, and also
"update_PW3_5.7.4_initial.bin" - it has now downgraded to 5.7.4 - confirmed.
#3: I quit the setup process, didn't connect to WiFi, and would be most grateful if you would show me how I:
~ Jailbreak the device - what files do I need (
I am autistic, please do not send me off on multiple URLs - my mind gets very confused easily - thanks)
~ Safely update the device
WITHOUT losing jailbreak, after the jailbreak has completed.
I do not want to come across as fussy or demanding, but I often have concentration span issues due to the above mentioned - I know my way around Linux as I have for 15 years, but I just DO NOT want to battle with Amazon's appalling "customer service" another time, seeking another replacement (it took me 14 hours to get ONE replacement, non stop chat!)
Thank you
