007 update error when trying to jailbreak kindle

Mackyboy123 · 01-09-2021, 10:51 AM

I am using https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=186645 to jailbreak a 5.3.7.3 kindle with serial number B011 1407. When I run the jailbreak file, I get an 007 update error.

You either had old updates laying around, you did something wrong, or the OTA updater conked its head.

Reboot the device and try again. The updater shouldn't run *at all*.

I tried it three times. Basically, I downloaded https://storage.sbg.cloud.ovh.net/v1...-r18002.tar.xz file, unzipped it, copied the contents onto the root of the kindle, restarted the kindle and clicked on the updater.

Option B it is then (that, or your recap was a bit hasty).

It's not the tarball's contents that you should put on your device, it's the contents of the kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip archive *inside* that tarball.

Otherwise you end dropping the full set of hotfix install, uninstall & crap in there, which will break all the things.
