These forums are very messy, but they contain very valuable information ... According to what I have read, in the version I am in, you can not jailbreak by Software, so the other option that I have found is to use a serial port , the problem is that, before opening my Kindle, I would like to know if my model has the option of a serial port and if it is the same installation that is discussed here [ 2] and here [ 3], I have thought of buying the "USB TTL Serial Cable 1.8V" model TTL-232RG-VREG1V8-WE, żit would work with my model?
regards.

The answer to all of your questions is: YES.
Your [3] is the best for a new user.
The Firmware version(s) mentioned and Hardware model(s) mentioned are only references to what was used during the development of the directions, they are not limitations.
All devices (except the 2 Oasis models) since (and including) the K4 use the same process, with the same serial port pin-out, with changes to filenames only - with a possible exception of the filesystem layout of the PW4. So don't try to brick your new PW4 just yet.
In [2] you will find links to electrical connection methods other than using "hot solder". If not experienced with that skill, check out the contents of those links.
