First, specifications:
Kindle Paperwhite 2018 with ads but never registered, never connected to wi-fi so there are no actual ads on the device
Serial: G000 PP07 xxxx xxxx
FW: Kindle 5.10.0.1
I've read as much as I could the last few days but I'm unsure which tutorial to follow. This one or "Open Sesame! (AKA., The New & Improved JailBreak Index)"
Step 1. HERE has factory image for my 5.10.0.1 device
"download factory image...5.10.0.1
The md5sum is Code: 2643277e8316ff412fc748ede22c08c6"
Open Sesame thread mentions only 5.10.1.3 version.
PW4: 5.10.1.3 (MD5: 538d939c2cb4f05c7952d33d5348f010)
Be *very* careful to pick the right file for your device, because failing to do that *will* result in a brick.
Given the grave consequences of making a mistake here I figured I'd ask first. Thanks

As long as you're using a firmware made for PW4, you should be fine. That's primarily why there's a disclaimer on Open Sesame (since it covers multiple models). You definitely don't want to install PW4 firmware on a PW3.
Either version will work on your PW4. 5.10.1.3 is just newer with slightly different layout. Iirc, 5.10.0.1 and 5.10.0.2 have the same layout as 5.9.x for older Kindles. On 5.10.1.3, I think the Aa menu changed (custom styles) and battery now shows %.
The steps are the same both here and on the Open Sesame thread. It's essentially same as:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/5_x_Jailbreak with some updates and additions for the KT4.
*Note: Since you're running a very low firmware version, you don't need to PM me for extra help.
