This worked great, thank you so much for this. Got a couple more Kindles to JB on 5.12.2.2 which should be straightforward, but the question I had is that I have two Kindle PW 5th Gen (Serial No beginning with B024) that are on firmware version 5.6.1.1, that for ${REASONS} I also need to jailbreak, the thread title is "Software Jailbreak for any Kindle <=5.14.1" but in the compatibility notes it doesn't list either that specific Kindle Paperwhite or that software version so I'm wondering whether the title is slightly misleading or whether the compatibility notes are slightly misleading. I'm edging towards the former.

If it is indeed the former, is there any kind soul that could point me to a jailbreak for the Kindle PW 5th Gen on firmware version 5.6.1.1?

I'm not completely averse to soldering but obviously would prefer a software solution if that's possible.
