I am a bit unsure as in the wiki ( https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/5_x_Jailbreak) I read that the jailbreak won't work on any device running a version above 5.8.7...
Would love to jailbreak my Kindle just to turn off the auto-sleep mode (I am a musician and use it to read sheets), as well as using Calibre to organize Collections.
Thanks in advance |
This is the exception mentioned in the Wiki.

There is a special case for the PW3 running 5.9.6.1 firmware or earlier. Please see this thread for instructions.

Do note, if you want to use the Calibre Kindle Collections plugin (requires LibrarianSync KUAL add-on), don't update the firmware to 5.12+. LibrarianSync doesn't work on 5.12 and newer.
If you don't need the new features in higher firmware versions, it's probably safest to stick to 5.9.6.1 so you can always re-jailbreak if needed.
