In January I was able to jailbreak my Kindle PW2 5.12.2.1.1 with the "KindleBreak <= 5.13.3" https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=4105735
I installed KOreader and was happily reading.

Unfortunately my Kindle updated itself to 5.12.2.2 and the JB got lost, KUAL did not start anymore.

I resetted my Kindle PW2 and tried the "WatchThis JB <= 5.14.2" https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ndle+jailbreak
But this did not work. After being in DEMO Mode and "Sideload Content -> Done" I was stuck. The script did not start at all and the jailbread therefore was not working.

Then I registered my Kindle again and tried the "KindleBreak" again.
With no luck. After following the instructions and putting in "file:///mnt/us/kindlebreak.html" I just got the feedback that the search did not find anything. No jailbraking. Seems that 5.12.2.2 has been patched against the vulnerability of 5.12.2.1.1

I checked all information I could find regarding PW2 and 5.12.2.2 but the results were not consistent. Even after searching I am not sure if it is possible to JB PW2 on 5.12.2.2.

My question: was anybody successfull with a JB on a Kindle PW2 on 5.12.2.2? If yes which method? What was the trick to be successful?

I miss my KOreader - any help would be appreciated!
