jailbreak for strange kindle

metaturbo99 · 06-24-2014, 11:23 AM

Hello,

I have found several jailbreak codes for various kindles, but I absolutely want to confirm I have the right one. People refer to the kindle's differently. Heres the information I can provide on the specific model I have:

http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Touch-e.../dp/B005890G8Y

And here is a link to the wikipedia article about it, it is also a little bit unspecific about the name of the actual device but this is the correct link for it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Kindle#Kindle_Touch

So I think it's called a 4th generation Kindle Touch, but I'm not sure!

I also verified I have firmware version 5.3.7.

Can you help me find the correct jailbreak code for this device?

thanks,
steve

This wiki page is your new best friend.

Even with only the FW version to go on, that can only be a Kindle Touch, of the K5 family.

Meaning this is the current JB: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186645

(FWIW, this sticky should be a good start).
