Kindle 7th generation software jailbreak?
I have received a new(ish) Kindle 7th generation. It has been in storage for a while, so it's at Kindle firmware 5.9.4. Any possibility for a software-based jailbreak that involves a downgrade to factory firmware or something?
I know that it normally cannot be done, but what about the "special exceptions"? I want to open the new Kindle, but I don't have access to a serial cable at all (not even online), so I have to look for somebody with a Raspberry Pi. I looked for take-it-apart guides, and the best written guides were @knc1's KT2 Exposed thread and iFixit's teardown. iFixit says that it's easy, mild adhesive, no hairdryer heat needed, only credit-card-opener, while @knc1's post says that it's difficult, delicate, strong adhesive, and specifically warns about using a credit-card-opener. Which one is it? I tried sliding a credit card, but the Kindle's frame won't budge. Last edited by WaseemAlkurdi; 09-14-2019 at 05:10 AM. |

What made me post this is this comment on that very thread. I do apologize if this post's first question was completely unnecessary. Anyway, I have bought myself a USB to TTL board, and I think I'm going to crack it open instead. I have just finished opening up my dead Kindle Touch, so this one should be easier. Edit: This makes the post's title and first question completely redundant, while the second question in my OP is still valid. Last edited by WaseemAlkurdi; 09-14-2019 at 06:18 PM. |
