Hi!

I have an old Kindle if in the options (device info) is written information:
Serial Number : B00F
Firmware Version : Kindle 5.0.0 (1347840063)
From the information that can be obtained on the website its :

B00F - Kindle Touch 3G + WiFi (Kindle 5) (U.S. and Canada) [Mostly]
K5, KT

The update option doesn't work I downloaded from Amazon version 5.1.0.bin
As you might expect, the file simply disappeared after disconnecting from the computer.
I did Jailbreak on this device from Mobileread, I don't know if it was added correctly because there was this inscription "jailbreak"

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
K5 JailBreak (5.0.x - 5.4.4.2)

I tried adding more "hacks" to force an update to a different version of the program but. anyway I don't know if I did it right

I want to make this Kindle more user-friendly Maybe just buy a new Kindle?
