Hi all, I am new to jailbreaking,
I saw all the wonderful things you can do with it, and I was wondering if I could jailbreak a paperwhite 3 with the firmware version 5.12.1. I don't think it is possible, this firmware just came out some months ago... Sorry if this question is stupid. And please don't say that my grammar is bad, english is not my native language.
The sticky thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=320564 permanently near the top of the page is supposed to be the starting point for finding jailbreak information. It says no for 5.12.x on any kindle.

Your only hope is using the serial port, which requires opening the case, soldering some wires and using terminal commands.
