Tools AdBreak - experimental JB for ad-supported devices (5.18.1-5.18.5) - Page 11

Just a quick note that I received my refurb 2022 Gen 1 Scribe in the mail today and I followed Shadow's instructions and can confirm that along with Joe I was able to jailbreak my scribe. I had to create a new phone number in Google Voice to create my French account, but after that it was pretty straightforward.

This is the first time I've ever jailbroken a Kindle, so I'm still pretty fuzzy on how the scriptlets, KUAL, MRPI, etc. etc. all work together. I did manage to get KOReader installed, though, so I'm pretty happy about that.

Thanks for the great instructions and the troubleshooting help on this forum...

They don't show up under the "Show All offers" section, but it does replace the lock screen with a lady and a telescope. Once you get that far, the system .assets folder shows up, and you can perform the remaining steps.

There are several tools because each does a different task. The jailbreak itself is only the first step and doesn't do a whole lot on its own.

Jailbreak - Exploits some security flaw to allow the Kindle to run 3rd party code.
Hotfix - Shims itself into the Kindle OS so that keys to run that 3rd party code stay in place, newer ones also add features like scriptlet support to run user scripts right from the Library.
MRPI - Uses the Kindle search bar to get the debug logging system to launch the custom package installer.
KUAL - A custom launcher that can run other programs. Scriptlets let you skip going through this to run programs.
BinaryRenamer (or the older RenameOTAbin) - Tool to block downloading and installing firmware updates
KOReader - A 3rd party reading program that runs on top of the regular Kindle OS.
