1.1/ If I understand well, the best would be to upgrade it to 5.16.2.1 before attempting the jailbreak, right?
1.2/ What about 5.16.2.1.1 ?
That I can do, thanks to the links templates posted in #1.
For now, the device is like out of its box, not connected to an amazon account.
I don't want to connect it to the wifi to prevent updates.
2/ But, if after the JB I want to connect it to the amazon account, what should I do to prevent a firmware update?
Sorry if it is a stupid question answered thousand times in other threads.
I had a look in other places, but the information I got looked outdated to me. Once again, I don't want to ruin it, just got it running normal, having access to the amazon library while being root on it.
Thanks again to the team! |
1.1/ you do not need to update, try the jailbreak and see if it works - if you can't get it to work then do update to 5.16.2.1 or 5.16.2.1.1 - make sure the ota is for your kindle
1.2/ yes this version is also fine
2/ Well i recommend registering your kindle after updating most things work better with it, for preventing ota there's renameota kual extension - and the jailbreak does survive updates (even tho things seem quite broken overall - mrpi didnt seem to work at all) - i unintentionally already tried that (thanks amazon..), - and there are ways to downgrade too - which i did.
