5.6.5 Jailbreak (closed-kindle) -- released! - Page 63

knc1 · 04-04-2016, 10:34 PM

" My long-winded question is, what are the reasons for not wanting to install 5.7.3 and beyond? "

Some may want to retain the ability to jail break the device.

As mentioned in another thread recently, the comment was:
"I don't install a firmware version until it is possible to jail break it."

I.E: If something ever goes wrong with our viral, self re-installing jailbreak -
the owner can just manually repeat the process.

Keep in mind my own view point -
I am among the "If it isn't broke, don't fix it" crowd.
So my answer may well be more than a bit biased.

I see that there is a new 5.7.4 firmware. Is jailbreak preserved after flashing this? Can anyone confirm please?

Edit: Whoops, I think this is in the wrong thread. If so, can someone move to the main 5.6.5 jailbreak thread for me please?

Most definitely the wrong thread.
Why don't you start a new thread since it has to do with a new firmware.

That might be asking a lot -
Been a member here for almost three years and only has started two threads to date.
Maybe the 'new thread' button is broke.

@Waitingforatrain: That assumption appears to hold true

¿Kindle paperwhite 5.7.4 se fuga de la cárcel?

hakama · 04-15-2016, 10:35 AM

When are we can include Coolreader on Paperwhite 3 (5.7.2)?
Kindle Oasis is available already

greentea · 04-21-2016, 02:35 AM

Long story short:
- I installed 5.6.5 Jailbreak + bridge, PW3 G090G105 UK English, used simpler jb method from this post
- Installed KUAL, Vlasovsoft, RescuePack and Coward's Rescue Pack Addon from NiLuJe's hacks page. All good for couple of days.
- Wanting to sell the Kindle, so I UNREGISTERED it....
- Got "you device is no longer a test Kindle..." message
- Tried to re-apply Jailbreak. All steps went fine, but "Jailbreak failed" message in the end
- I did factory reset to get clean 5.6.5 FW
- Tried to re-apply Jailbreak, again. 3 times. All steps went fine, but "Jailbreak failed" message in the end

What now? Can it be Rescue pack interfering with JB install?

UPDATE:
All fixed. Tried JB many times to no avail. Re-downloaded update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.6.5.bin firmware file from Amazon's website and installed. All up and running :-)

Im a noob on this; is JB preserved, even if I install the newest fw on my device? Or are there any restrictions I have to bear in mind?

On my PW2 the jailbreak survived the 5.7.4 firmware update. Of course, I had to re-install most installed homebrew apps.

@Perkinz: Restrictions are: don't deregister it and follow that with factory reset or firmware update. Peope here seem to really like to factory reset their Kindle. See post above yours (@greentea).

Yes, as mentioned above:
Do not touch the "Reset (to factory defaults)" choice.

Think about what that label is telling you.

Where any of the things you got from this site included among the factory defaults?

Could not that button's actions be described as:
"Erase / Remove (anything that did not come from the factory)" ?
(If the button was large enough of course.)

Okay, thank you both!

Hola Gurus!,

I updated to 5.7.2.1 fw some weeks ago, before my lasted 2 o 3 months easily (I only read at nights for 30 to 45 min), after upgrade It only last 1 week at most!

I tried to erase all the books, thinking about a indexing problem, only left 2 book in kindle, but there is no difference,

I charged last night (12 hours ago), and I took a picture a few minutes ago, I didnt used last night,

By the way, I always set AIRPLANE mode ON.

Dont know what to do, is it a FW problem? should I downgrade?

Thanks in advance!
