New user here. First, thank you all for all the work that went into figuring out the jailbreaks and upgrades, and for making the information available here and keeping it up-to-date!
I want to turn a Kindle into a dedicated web-connected dashboard device. (A smart clock which also displays upcoming appointments, to help an aging relative get their bearings.) Bought a used PW3 with firmware 5.9.x, and intend to update the firmware to a suitable archived version and then follow the process outlined in this thread.
One thing confuses me in the original post here: There are repeated warnings to stay away from firmware versions >= 15.12.x, but all of the supported jailbreaks cactually require a newer firmware?! Can I assume that the warnings are outdated? If I update the PW3 to e.g. firmware 15.4.2, install the jailbreak/MRPI/KUAL and then install renameotabin, will it be safe to enable the WiFi?
Thanks for helping me out, and apologies if this has been asked and answered before in this long thread.
