But don't expect it to do anything but report "error 012".

If this happens, what should I do to bring it back to its original state? Will just removing all jailbreaking files work? Thanks for the help

You will not get that far - an 'error 12' happens when you try to install any earlier firmware version (unless they removed the check).
I.E: Your question was about downgrading, and that is the question I answered.

And it will also delete the Amazon update_*.bin file on the USB storage for you.

I get it now. Thank you.

ETA: Looks like I won't be able to jailbreak it yet anyway. Amazon representative told me that it ships with the latest firmware.

Hi, I'm sorry because this question has been asked probably fifteen times.

I had jailbroke my Kindle right after the release of the Jailbreak (used one tutorial (Page 36 from MJ52).
Will the Jailbreak survive the Update to 5.7.4 and is there a way to disable auto Update.
I guess its not save that the Kindle will survive every update.

Thank You very much and sorry. I probably just overread the anwser. Shame on me.

Don't take their word for it. That sounds like a stock response. The best thing to do is check it before you connect it to wifi and see for yourself.

You are user number: 266,298 making post number: 3,309,556 -
Which is post number 979 of this thread.

Do you want to re-consider that estimate of "15" ? (*)

= = = =

Did you do both parts mentioned in the first post of this thread?
I.E: Both the jailbreak and the hotfix.

It that case the answer is yes - the hotfix makes the jb "viral" - it will self-reinstall.

Now try reading the bright red sentence in the first post of this thread.

Is there anyway way of breaking the 5.7.4 Fw? If not ill be palming off my paperwhite and buying a new one from a store. The store gave me the serial number which indicated they have in stock a paperwhite 3 2015. I assume this will not come with the latest Fw?
Main reason for wanting to JB is for a multi tiered collection system so I can properly catalog my books. Does the paperwhite need to be jail broken for this?

hakama · 05-02-2016, 05:00 AM

tutorial (Page 36 from MJ52).

This guide will it work about mine PP3 5.7.2?

I remember that after the release of the new Kindle will release and jailbreak for all PP3?

I just want to be able to read through Coolreader.

knc1 · 05-02-2016, 05:17 AM

Try it and report back.

shamanNS · 05-02-2016, 07:30 AM

@jfiz: If by "multi-tiered collections" you meant nested collection (= collection inside a collection) that is no longer possible even after jailbreak. Since Amazon introduces Cloud Collections (was it with fw 5.4.x ??).

jfiz · 05-02-2016, 08:23 AM

@shamanNS: It would be good to get confirmation on "nested collection's being impossible even after jail break." What about other devices like kobo? I got to say, what else would you jailbreak a device for? Sure alternative screen savers are cool and file-reading versatility is nice but surely nested collection are the ultimate perk for one wanting to have a proper library on their kindle.

shamanNS · 05-02-2016, 09:18 AM

@jfiz: Nested collections on Kindle were previously (on Kindle Touch, PW1 and PW2 until fw 5.4.2 [PW2 factory firmware was 5.4.0]) created using Collections Manager. That was before Amazon introduces "Cloud Collections" and ability to show/hide collections on Home view , then those changes on database level killed that Collection Manager functionality. Now you can have only "flat", one-level collections, jailbreak or no jailbreak (jailbreak "only" enables you to have "one click" creation of collections based on Calibre metadata & columns, so you don't have to manually create>name>populate collection book by book).

So no more nested collections on any Kindle with firmware newer than 5.4.0. For details check those 3 links listed under 3rd bullet point of "Requirements" section at Collections Manager thread.

I agree, smarted tags/ multilevel collection would be nice to have but "ultimate perk" gained by jailbreak for me is having custom font and font sizes and having margins reduced. Book-cover-as-screensaver is nice thing to have but it the least important motivation for me jailbreaking my Kindle. I could live without screensavers if I had to but could not be content without having all those changes directly related to reading experience & how the text is displayed. Kindle primarily being a reading device and all that :P
Also having KOreader on Kindle for 10x better PDF experience (when I am absolutely forced to use PDFs, for non-fiction books) is significant perk.

Sweet my replacement Kindle came with 5.6.1.1. Looks like I'll be jailbreaking again.

geekmaster · 05-09-2016, 10:19 AM

I just used this to jailbreak my PW3 (after upgrading from 5.6.1.1 to 5.6.5). It worked great, with no need to connect to the internal TTL serial port pads.

After studying the internals of this JB mechanism, I am curious how you found it.

Thanks!
