Hello there.

I've looked through the wiki and it shows jailbreak supports up to 4.1.3.

My Kindle 4 NT is a hand me down (I used to own a Kobo before the screen broke), and Amazon told me the only way to register the device (so I can sync books because I also read on other devices) is to upgrade to firmware 4.1.4.

I'd really like to use my own screensavers if possible. Is that way of jailbreaking still applies to 4.1.4? Has anyone tried it?

I know this is an old device and not really many use it, but I figured I'd just shoot my shot. Can't really get a new one right now.

Any help will be appreciated.
