I'm helping with PW4 JB > 5.10.1.3 but via PM only given how anti-JB the firmware updates have been of late.
PSA
I might be able to help with jailbreak for the waterproof
PW4/Paperwhite 4/Paperwhite (2018)/Paperwhite (10th generation) only.
Those interested, please PM me with the following details about your device:
- First 12 characters of serial number (gives us the HW model, revision and manufacture date)
- Country
- Retailer/Store
- Color
- Storage
- with or without Special Offers
- Wi-Fi or Cellular
- FW version and stock or updated?
Thanks!
Notes:
- All PMs missing the information requested above will be ignored.
- All PMs requesting assistance with non-PW4 will be ignored.
- Don't expect immediate replies to your PM. I don't spend my entire time waiting for PMs from MobileRead. Even when I'm browsing the site, I'm often browsing via mobile device where sending instructions is a major pain so I typically wait to reply until I'm in front of keyboard and mouse. I usually respond within 4 days so be patient and wait a week or so. If there's no reply by then, feel free to follow up.
- If you're unable to send PMs, you can use the thread in the feedback forum below to request PM privileges.

- Mac users: There's an issue with the method I have with Macs (PW4 won't reconnect to Mac via USB after one of the steps). Please make sure you have access to a Windows or Linux PC before sending me a PM.
Public instructions have now been posted for PW4 running 5.10.2-5.13.3 firmware. Sadly, 5.13.4 and higher cannot be jailbroken using this method.
