I have a Paperwhite 2 which has firmware 5.4.5.1, and I'm trying to jailbreak it. I've been trying to follow the instructions I found here:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/5_x_Jailbreak
but unfortunately any bin files I put on it dissappear before I'm able to 'update my kindle'
err, oops, it just appeared as an option (black rather than greyed out, but I got a 007 error.
I'm keen on this for added configuration options. Thanks in advance.
EDIT - I got an Update Error 4 when trying to update
I am running linux on my home system, so can probably shell into my PW2 if needed, though I'd prefer not to.
YES! Okay, sorry for all the questions, but I got it worked out. I did the old 1.14 jailbreak (but I don't think it worked). Then I downgraded to 5.4.3.2. Then I did the 1.14 jailbreak again (and it worked, I got ***jailbreak*** written at the bottom).
To check that it's worked I have installed KUAL - yay! Jailbroken.
