HardReset+English is what I did, so it seems at least for the moment I'm out of luck.
I'll try again with language english-gb instead of english-us, although I doubt this will change anything

@gett: what is the beginning of your S/N? We can create a list of known models where JB does not work to avoid frustration to other users

Yes - but there is more than one flavor of PW3:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers

And BD did not mention **which** of the 5 flavors he tested on.

So as suggested above -
We need people to start giving us the first six characters of their serial number along with their 'works' / 'fails' reports.

hi,
I have a KV,
SerialNumber: B01309075xxxx
version 5.6.5.
Done a reset, english language.

Access the index, accept, Stage 1, back,

Stage 2 goes to home and have "Jailbreak starting" in the title bar,

after some seconds appears: "Run ;fc-cache in the search bar."

and eventually JB Failed

It seems that doesn't have write permissions...

STUPID ME!!
You may list "G090 G105" as one of the models where the JB *DOES* work.

But of course you need to carefully read and then follow BD's instructions, which includes copying the jb file to /mnt/us. I had forgotten this crucial step

After doing it, the JB suceeded

Have not used Linux in a while. Used to run Ubuntu in a VM when building android roms from source. Do you all recommend Ubuntu still? Or, since I am starting from scratch, is there another one that I should consider?

Actually have an old laptop that I might dedicate to linux for this...

Ubuntu is a good choice. Look at mint too, I recommend that one. http://www.linuxmint.com/

Hahaha I blocked here several times and you just answered, it was written in front of me haha

Thank you BD and every one of you for your help.


I used the SimpleHTTPServer and create_ap method on Kali Live (I had to install the hostapd pkg) on a PW2 Wifi Serial:9017.

Code:
application error
  The selected application could not be started
  Please Try again
  close
That means you forgot to put the jb file in the root of your kindle after the factory reset, I did it several times

Worked fine on my KT2, didn't do a factory reset.

Still super new to how packages and stuff work, but as far I can tell I haven't found any problems so far.

EDIT: As per knc1's request, the first 6 characters of my serial number are 90C6 06
EDIT 2: Using English (United States)

Are you certain your running 5.6.5?
Check your "Device Info" part of settings menu.
Why:
Because Amazon removed ;fc-cache from 5.7.2 to prevent this JB.

There are four models of KT-2
So give us the first six of your serial number please.

Just double-checking before I start: I EXTRACT the jb.zip, yes?, and then put the extracted resulting jb FOLDER in the root directory of my Kindle?

So far we've seen success reported for the PW2, PW3, and KT2, but I haven't seen anyone confirm it for the KV.


EDIT: @nigredo confirmed it on the next page. Yay!
