Since only I got my first kindle a few months ago, I didn't get to experience the older firmwares. I assumed that some newer versions have issues or remove/change features that make people not want to upgrade to them. That's why I planned to support versions below 5.12.2.1.1, plus I also wanted to support KT and PW which are way below that. Seems like 5.10.3 - 5.13.3 is enough then, at least for the initial thread.

I've started using your KUAL script that renames the system files but I'm still scared to turn airplane mode off. Has it been tested extensively enough? (I'm on 5.12.4.)

No need for PW4 images at all (well, not urgent).
The latest update for PW2 and KT2 is 5.12.2.1.1, highly likely with closed vulneability, need to be tested. 5.12.2 is good for sure.

The image for group 5.10.3-5.13.3 SHOULD work for any device in that range, there is no such thing as a 5.11.2, 5.13.3 or PW4 image.
I'm planning to test that "SHOULD" though before I make the image public.

If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what this exploit might be able to do?
Then I would like to help out if it's useful.

I've a Voyage on 5.13.1 which I'd love to get jailbroken and am more than happy to help others once I know the process. |
I'll PM you both soon, 5.12.2 and 5.13.1 are versions I haven't explicitly tested yet, and I want to before I make the new thread.
If anybody else wants to help with testing, PM me with your device and firmware version! Untested firmwares preferred, especially the 2 extremities; 5.10.3 and 5.13.3.
The working firmware/device combinations for firmware versions
(5.10.3 - 5.13.3) that got tested so far (constantly updated):
Once I get enough data I'll make it public for everybody.
