HI - I'm aiming to Jailbreak a friend's new "White Kindle Basic 3", serial begins G090WH... = nickname KT4; KT4W with F/W 5.11.2 (3541880032). And I have run into a roadblock. It could be my misunderstanding something, so here's a summary of what I've done:
  • Selected airplane mode
  • Via USB cable, created folder update.bin.tmp.partial at top visible level
  • From Wiki downloaded factory_KT4_5.11.0_initial
  • Confirmed MD5 checksum
  • Via USB cable copied downloaded .bin file to top visible level
  • Ejected Kindle, unplugged cable

That's when a screen message informed me an invalid update file had been downloaded.
Home > Menu > Settings > Menu > and the "Update your Kindle" option is greyed out

Have I done something wrong? Or is the Kindle firmware blocking the jailbreak?

Your help and advice will be much appreciated. Best wishes for what's left of the holiday season to everyone!
