G000PP -> which is a PW4.

Which is one of the "Androidized" Kindle models.
Meaning, among other things:


* It is not a "dual boot" system like most Kindles.
Trying to load the address of the diags system is sort of pointless, since these models do not have that older sort of "dual boot" system.


* The system is now locked as seen by the customer.
Currently, there is no known way to unlock the serial port access.


* You are trying to access the version 5.12.1, where the most recently known firmware version on that model that can be jailbroken is 5.10.1.3
That information is included in the first post of this thread. You could help yourself by re-reading that first post.


* The most recent build of Kindletool can be found in NiLuJe's snapshots thread.
Ref: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
And, it is already built, ready to use on the most common PC OS devices.


* There is one (or more) threads on this forum concerning the things which have been tried to deal with the "Androidized" systems.
Ref: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=312489
Which is a show-stopper for the firmware version on your device.

But that is one of the threads here about the "Androidized" systems.
