This has been possible on the 7" Oasis models in stock firmware from day 1.

Do I understand correctly that the jailbreak works for any locale now, or does it still have to be English UK? I would prefer English US, if possible. If UK, how do I switch to US after I have jailbroken?

So after successfully JB'ing my PW5 5.14.2 and installing everything, I accidentally RESET my Kindle instead of restarting it. Ugh. I know. Should've paid attention instead of watching Moon Knight. Anyways...

Do I have to install "Update_hotfix_watchthis_custom.bin" again even though I still see the Kindle Feedback book in my library? Am I wrong when I assume that means it's jailbroken still? Would love some clarification.

Also... can I revert back to 5.14.1.1 from 5.14.2 somehow? Just curious.

Thanks in advance. Cheers!

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. Even if you change it in Kindle settings, they still working differently in Koreader, and I was asking about way to change it in Koreader.

Can anyone help with my following questions
I have successfully jailbroken my device first time and was also successful with the hotfix. And everything including RENAMEOTA enabled
So, I was having issues with Goodreads not loading so I did a hard reset and started from scratch again

1. I'm having one minor issues that is unable to install hotfix using UYK option it is greyed out?
I tried restoring from RenameOTA and resetting no luck.
2. Also on my device ;uzb isn't working it was working earlier.

I've installed 1.16 hotfix package using MRPI, but I don't know it is working or not

Hi guys, how are you?

First of all thanks to the developers for the magic

My device has an uncommon version apparently, namely 5.14.0.1, I haven't seen it as supported, I don't know if because it's uncommon, or because it's not supported.

One question regarding the jailbreak, do we lose the possibility of WiFi connection to prevent the device from being updated?

Thanks, have a nice day ;p

Hi Usto,

I can answer this, since I was in exactly the same position. Update to either 15.4.1.1 or 15.4.2 and follow the jail break description from there (I used 15.4.1.1 and after the jail break updated to 15.4.2 to verify that the jail break stays active even after an update, but you should be able to use 15.4.2 directly).

Cheers, Joe

Any chance of downgrade after jailbreaking, I absolutely despise the new UI so if I can rollback to 5.13.3 so I can get the old UI back that would be great.

I'm using the PW5SE

The PW5 released with 15.4.0.1 mate. You can't downgrade but you may be able to revert to sn older UI. Check out Kataledos's post on reddit or it may even be here in mobileread.

Here's a link to the post that explains how to revert to an older UI if anyone is interested.
