So I have a K5, and I wanted to try jailbreaking it with the installation instructions provided in the head post. It says Winterbreak "works on ANY KINDLE (from the K5) ", but the list of recommended Jailbreaks by device model says I should use a Legacy method for a K5.
Is there a reason Winterbreak isnt reccommended for this device type? Does the "from" mean after K5, or also K5?

I tried to do a legacy method, but I havent been able to pull up demo mode yet. That only leaves me with KindleBreak, which looks too complicated for my 2am brain to handle. It looks viable, since the device does have Send-To-Kindle E-mail
What should I do?
