Sorry about jumping to the last page but 2012? Anyway, I have a refurbished Paperwhite, came marred with a fingerprint on the black border, bought a few years ago, late 2017, ser# G090 G105... firmware 5.12.3. I anticipated a fairly easy JailBreak. Unpacked the 1.16.N on an RPI3, then unzipped kindle-5.4-jailbreak to the root of the kindle, umounted and looked but the Update Your Kindle was grayed out. *****JAILBREAK***** never appeared, I restarted the kindle and still no change. Then I tried the OLD_README directions, coping data.stgz to the root and unmounting. No Update. Rebooted and no change. Remounted on the RPI. Added the data.stgz again, umounted, remounted and it was still in root so unmounting didn't delete it as it appears to have been happening to a poster a page back. I also tried changing the permissions from -rwxr-xr-x with chmod 0777 ./data.stgz but the permissions on the RPI were unchanged. Unmounting and booting saw no improvement and I tried it with Airplane mode off. Suggestions please. Thanks.
