Hi.
I am an absolute noob to Kindle jailbreaking, and would like to ask a few questions before doing anything (more) stupid.
I bought a second hand Kindle. It is a Kindle Basic 1 (2014) KT2 if I'm interpreting the serial number correctly. (starts with: 90C6)
It had firmware 5.0.something if I remember correctly, but stupidly I started the WiFi, and left the Kindle alone. It updated automatically to 5.12.2.2
If I'm reading correctly the instructions on the first page, I'm still ok and can do the jailbreak?
Is there anything else I should be aware of before I proceed?
Thank you for now.
