This isn't my handy work -
It is a single post quoted in its own thread so it does not 'get lost' in the ever growing software JB thread:

Here is what I did for a PW3 (G090 G105 US English)

-download the jb.zip and unzip it
-move the "jb" file to the root of Kindle
-eject kindle; turn off airplane mode
-visit "kindlefere.com/jb/" on kindle's experimental browser [NOTE: watch the forum to see if this address is in favor, or another is suggested; or if there is an easy "a" method with a webserver; going to any website is done at your own risk]
-follow instructions
when the Jailbreak tells you in the notification bar to run ;fc-cache in the search bar -

Open the Kindle Search (looking glass Icon on newer touch enabled devices) and simply type in:
;fc-cache
followed by enter.

-when JB successful shows, go turn on airplane mode
-connect to computer and get jailbreak bridge file
-put "Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin" in Kindle root
-eject kindle; -make sure you're in airplane mode
-go to settings and update kindle

-connect to computer to next install KUAL
Get the KUAL-v2.6.zip archive and unpack.
If your device runs on FW 5.x, use the KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file and put it in the Kindle's documents folder.
Eject kindle
Look for KUAL in the list of books, and click
click again on quit.

Next is the kual MRpackage installer
connect to computer
unpack the kual-mrinstaller-1.6.N.zip archive, and COPY the contents to the root folder of kindle.
(for me, it asked to replace the extensions folder that KUAL installed)
-eject kindle
-run KUAL
- back to home on kindle

Now time for the hacks. For the screensaver hack:
-connect to computer
copy the Update_linkss_0.24.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3.bin file into the MRPACKAGES folder on kindle
-eject
-run kual
-click helper
-click install MR packages
-watch the messages
-watch thee reboot
-put kindle to sleep
-Get kindle screensaver hack page and do a happy dance

install screensavers/covers as directed

Go forth and enjoy.
Thank you Branch Delay, NiLuJe and knc1 for the heavy lifting on the jailbreak; and thanks to Theswonker for the "JB for dummies" steps, and to all others for tips, attempts and finding solutions.

and Branch Delay, NiLuJe and knc1 - feel free to use/revise for the "a" webserver and knc1 ip address methods.

Hey i used your method and i think the jailbreak succeded.

Thank you very mich for your Tutorial

I have a small request to make. Could you add the download links or thread links of the Jail break bridge file for example This would make the last steps to modify the Kindle a little bit easier

Can you tell me what "Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin" is and where to find it. I'm a little bit lost

OK this is the link just for the JB Hotfix. I personaly had trouble to find it, thats why im sharing this

[knc1]

Done.
Well, I made a start at it anyway.
More as time permits.

Every time I try to jailbreak my KT2 with 5.6.5, I go through steps correctly, until I reach the Stage 2 part. When I press on that, it always says "the selected application could not be started, please try again." What am I doing wrong?

Update: Never mind, I misunderstood the instructions. I put the folder jb on the root, rather than the files inside it.
