Then I tried to install the 1.1.0 hotfix - After I copied the hotfix file to the Kindle`s root I go to the three dots, then "Settings," then another three dots and "Update your Kindle." -> I saw the "Update failed" message. And after the reboot the firmware version became 5.17.1.
As a result, it's unclear whether the jailbreak is still present or if it was removed during the transition from 5.16 to 5.17. Repeating the WinterBreak procedure seems to start, but the Kindle doesn't reboot. The v1.2.0 hotfix also results in an "Update failed" error.
Any advice or did I mess up?
Delete the "WinterBreak.log" file from your Kindle and try jailbreaking again
