Not sure if this should be in developers or here (Paperwhite question)

NUT · 03-19-2017, 03:11 PM

Sorry if there's any mods/admins around and this is not in the right place could it be moved please?

Anyway, I have a paperwhite (WIFI/3G model) on version 5.8.5.0.2 (3085210002)

Is there anything I can do with it? (Jailbreak or whatever)?

HarryT · 03-19-2017, 03:19 PM

Let me ask you a question. The intended purpose of the device is to read books. What do you want to do with it?

NUT · 03-19-2017, 03:22 PM

Give it a oomph. I know there's some benefits of jailbreaking so anything like that

Yes, but do it quickly before it updates to 5.8.8.

Sorry first time i've seen my own post in about a week. What version of the jailbreak do I need? (Sorry if I need pointed in the right direction) see so many versions but not sure what one I need

HarryT · 03-24-2017, 07:36 AM

I'm moving this thread to the developers' forum, given that it's about jailbreaking.

See the sticky thread "Where do I start"?
I will paraphrase the first paragraph:

The first thing to do is find out what the nickname of your device is, as used here.
"Paperwhite" is too general (there are almost 80 models).

Use the first four or six characters of your device's serial number and this table:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
I.E: Use six characters if the first is "G", otherwise use the first four.

(After that, you can probably answer your own question, but post back here anyway.
Note that if you take a week to reply, it will probably have updated to 5.8.8 and be too late.)

Thanks. I wasn't sure where it should be

Ok first of all apologies for not replying sooner (don't get email notifications when a reply is posted) I believe my model last 3 numbers 002

Log on here -
Top blue bar, click "User CP"
Somewhere in the option settings, it is set to 'batch' all notices once a week - change it to 'immediate'.
You'll have to stumble around in those option settings, I don't recall which section has the e-mail options.

= = = =

First six characters of the serial number shown in the "Device Info" panel please, not the last three numbers.
Somebody will figure out your device's nickname and post about it here.

We really, really need that information (and so do you) -
There are seven different jb images for the current touch screen models - you must know the nickname to choose the correct one.

B05309 (if that's any use)

Did you go to the table that knc1 linked?
If your number is there then you can use the jailbreak.
Next check your firmware to see which one is correct for you.
Then go back to the where do I start thread and click on the correct jailbreak.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FIRST. Including spoilers. Make sure you understand them and can do each one before attempting the jailbreak. If you are unsure, do not attempt the jailbreak unless you just want an expensive paperweight.

That model is a Kindle Voyage Wifi+3G as distributed in Europe.

We support it, its nickname is: KV
If it is running any firmware version older than 5.8.8, then use:

If it has already updated to 5.8.8 - we do not have a jail break for that firmware version.

Sorry I'm a pain in the arse I know. Going to have to completely ask again lol looks like I thought it was a paperwhite it's shown up as a voyage model (might make things a bit different)

No need to re-ask.
Yes, it can be jailbreaked.
Go find the software jailbreak thread.
Here is the thread. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877
READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDING SPOILERS.
Make sure you understand them all.
Now do it quick before Amazon updates your Voyage.
