I currently have a Kindle PW 11th gen (Sig. Edition) on v. 5.14.2. From my understanding the newest Kindle is NOT jailbreakable, corrrent?

The first line in the first post of this thread says that it is jailbreakable.

Somewhere I found a comment saying that there was a way to downgrade the firmware on a jail-broken Paperwhite 4 FW 5.14.1. Of course, now that I've actually managed to jailbreak it I can't find it again!
Does anyone know how to do this?
And before people say why?, etc., etc., I just want to do it!

Then I'm confused a bit. The Kindle Signature Ed. is the 10th gen. So Kindle Signature = PW5


Quote:
This jailbreak is compatible with Kindle devices running the following firmware versions:

KT3, KT4, KOA1, KOA2, KOA3, PW3, PW4, PW5:
5.14.2
5.14.1 (5.14.1.1 on PW5)
5.13.7
5.13.6
5.13.5
5.13.4

KV:
5.13.6
5.13.5
5.13.4

KT2, PW2:
5.12.2.2

You must use the exploit payload that matches your device/firmware combination exactly.

PW5 -> 5.14.2 -> compatible

What more do you want?

(marketbabble "generation" meaningless in jailbreak context)

Hi guys, i was able to successfully jailbreak my KV. Unfortunately, since then, my frontlight has been turning on and off every couple of minutes without any reason. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

@Prle, try to turn off "auto brightness" in kindle Settings menu or in KOreader: tools - more tools - "auto frontlight" turn off

Not working on PW2 FW5.12.2.1.1.
It stucks on step 9 of jailbreak. I keep getting the "application error", no matter what I do. I've tried the vietnamese video tutorial even, wich is a shorter method, but no luck.
I've repeated all the steps, re-checked the folders and files spelling... Nothing seems to work.
Any hint? Many thanks in advance.

  3. If an application error occurs, hard reboot the device by holding the power button, enter the demo menu again and select Sideload Content -> Done once more without connecting to USB
  4. Select "Help & User Guides" then "Get started"
  5. If jailbreaking KT2 or PW2, select the store button instead
  6. The device will reboot
  7. The jailbreak script will run during the next boot

My PW2 didn't respond anythings when I press done in demo sideload. And then in the setting menu, I press store icon, it just show a notification that wifi is locked, nothing happened like resboot or instal script
I've had the exact same problem. I'm using a PW2 on FW 5.12.2. And I'd be glad if anybody could help.

@nesomuse - Just wrong Kindle version. Read the compatible session. For PW2, this jailbreak method support version 5.12.2.2 only (need to be EXACT!)

Damn, please don't tell me it's that easy...

I thought it was enough matching the first four numbers, no mater the rest.

So just updating to the very FW version 5.12.2.2 shoud do the magic...
Ok, I'm on it and I'll post the result in order to help people with the same issue.

Many thanks!
