Jailbreaking a new Kindle Voyage
Hi
Sorry but I would be grateful for some help in jailbreaking a new Kindle Voyage.
A long time ago I jailbroke a PW2 but not long ago it developed a problem with the USB connection so I have just bought a new Voyage from Amazon in preference to the new PW.
I have tried to follow the various posts but, being somewhat of a novice in all this, I am worried about the comments about recent firmware preventing jailbreaking.
The installed firmware is 5.8.7.0.1 so, if I understand correctly, I should be able to jailbreak it.
I believe Amazon registered it to my account but I have not connected it to wifi and have turned on airplane mode so that it would not update the firmware OTA.
As an aside, I have bought hardly any books from Amazon and virtually all my books will be sideloaded when I have got it working.
What I am planning to do is
1. Charge fully.
2. Reset.
3. Create the folder update.bin.tmp.partial at top level.
4. Add factory_KV_5.5.0_initial to top level and Update Your Kindle.
5. Copy main-htmlviewer.tar.gz to /mnt/us/ and in search bar, type ;installHtml and press return.
6. Copy Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.15.N_install.bin to root and Update Your Kindle.
Does that all look right?
Then I am supposed to be able to update the firmware. The current version available from Amazon is 5.10.1.1. Is it safe to use that one or do I need to find something lower?
TIA
