From thereon in it was smooth sailing. Before running "UYK", I saw that the G090G1 bin file had been renamed with a long string of hex (a key of some sort to get the kindle to accept the update?) before I ran the UYK. Interesting. |
Hi,
I've just successfully jailbreaked (jailbroken?) a PW3 (G090 G105) running FW v5.9.6.1 using serial method. That was an adventure! Now I'm ready to install KUAL and other fun stuffs, but not sure what to do with the G090G1.bin file... Care to expand on your advice above? Or point me to more info somewhere?
Thanks!
