i just got my kindle 8gb wifi only without special offer and checked the firmware-version. its a 5.10.0.2
but its serial starts with G000 so not sure of the jailbreak works on this device. can someone guide me through this over voicecom or irc or whatever? id be very thankful. i just wanna make sure i dont mess up anything the first time i try it.
edit:
or just to make sure maybe someone can confirm me that this is the right way to do it.
i download the firmware image for 5.10.0.2 and put that on the root folder of my kindle via usb. then i go into the settings menu of the kindle and update. this picks the file on the sd kindle that i just uploaded and makes it possible to use usb net.
i put a folder named "update.bin.tmp.partial" to block updating from amazons cloud.
after that i just put the k5 jailbreak from the link posted in the initial post and put that onto my kindle. run update again to jailbreak my device.
put hotfix onto the device and update again. then i can update to the newest version via amazon update.
now it states that i can use usbnet to do this manually, which i assume means that i can get ssh access to make a the firmware file myself or what is it used for?
edit2:
do i have to put the bin files onto the kindle one by one or can i pick which file i wanna apply on the kindle?
