My jailbreak attempt on 3rd May 2025.
Kindle Model - Paperwhite 10th Generation
Firmware version - Kindle 5.16.3
I am following the Winterbreak guide on the Kindle Modding Wiki.
I downloaded the latest Winterbreak release from the website.
Put kindle in airplane mode.
Restarted the kindle.
Copied all the files and folders including the .active_content_sandbox folder.
Clicked on the Store icon, turned off the airplane mode after the prompt.
Automatically connected to an active internet connection.
The Mesquito Launcher opened successfully.
Clicked on the WinterBreak icon.
I can see the first line as follows when WinterBreak attempts to jailbreak,
**** WinterBreak JAILBREAK ****
After this there is no progress even if I leave my kindle for around 10 minutes.
Fearing the automatic updates, I do not let the internet connection run for over 10 minutes.
I have done this 7 times.
Am I missing something?
I have attached the screenshots of the WinterBreak Jailbreaking process (7th attempt).
On my fifth attempt I tried to install the hotfix anyways thinking that the jailbreak was successful, but there was an error and I had to reboot the device.
Do I have to manually update the device to 5.17 and try again?
Or should I try to do this process some more times as suggested on some reddit threads.
After the 6th attempt I removed the temp update file that was downloaded and filled the internal storage leaving only 17MB of free internal storage to prevent download of automatic updates.
Even then there was no progress.
Can someone guide me as to what should be my next step.
