K5 Any Way (Currently), To Jailbreak My Kindle?

[Hypeman]

My kindle is a 10th gen 2019 (non paperwhite) kindle. It's currently running firmware version 5.13.1. All I really want to do is make a custom screen saver or maybe install something like chess. Is there any possible way to Jailbreak my Kindle? Even better, is there anyway to do the things I listed above without jailbreaking? Thx!

No software method available at that firmware level on any device other than the PW4 model. It might be possible to jailbreak via serial port, assuming you have the proper tools and a light touch to work with the tiny easy to damage contacts on the mainboard. Check in the main thread on jailbreaks with your first six characters of your serial to determine which model you have and then check for the appropriate serial thread. Not all models have been documented, so you may be a pioneer.

Needless to say you will need to open the case to accomplish this. If you damage your kindle Amazon may not accept a return or exchange for it.

Of course this is possible, you can use the Kindle like an Android tablet. Nearly.

I use a Kindle Fire HD 10 /2019 works like a charm, with:
Google-Play Store,
my calendar app,
Bluemail - email,
own FileExplorer,
own Galerie - with Diashow,
Disney+,
Own Keyboard (I use MS SwiftKey)
Opera Browser,
Pocketbook (epub Reader),
Yr (weather)

... many more.
I remove many software.

All this without rooting.
But the guarantee may be gone

please tell me if this is what you think off, then i send some links to do that.

He has an eink kindle, not a kindle fire. The fire is a totally different system and what works there does not apply to an eink kindle. Only by jailbreak can an eink kindle run other software.
