K2 older Kindle jailbreak update source

GRSham · 04-16-2026, 06:10 PM

K2i 2.5.8 - looking for working update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k2i binary. All downloads are 3 KB corrupted files. Can anyone provide a working mirror or alternative?

Did you try the download from the Snapshots thread? It's working fine for me.

I originally downloaded and extracted the file 'kindle-jailbreak-0.13.N-r18833.tar.xz' from the link you mention.

using the k2i .bin file: 'Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k2i_install.bin', the update immediately ended with 'update was not successful.' The dx, dxg, dxi, k2 and k2i bin files are all less that 3kb. the k3 packages in the same archive are 260kb.

did you use the k2i package? if so, what was its size? I searched for older archive perhaps 0.11 or 0.12 to see if they had full images, but none found.

I used the k2 file, and it's also less than 3kb. The update appeared to fail for me too, but it's actually supposed to fail like that. The README file says:

"(And, on FW 2.x only, it should *FAIL* (With a *U006* error, in the bottom left corner of the screen). It's completely normal, intended, and *harmless*)"
