Cookies covered in tomato sauce.
The southerner was expecting a baking powder round bread like a scone and milk gravy.

So as one can see, make sure everyone is speaking the same exact language or you might get something useless and inedible.

I guarantee that if you order "gravy" in a British restaurant, you will not get tomato sauce.

That is why I said New England/British.
I knew that New Englanders called their tomato sauce gravy and the British call biscuits cookies.
So my dear HarryT what is your gravy?

This only confuses the issue of "southern style" biscuits and gravy: Southern-style TOMATO gravy "usually served over biscuits": http://allrecipes.com/recipe/205214/...-tomato-gravy/

And then there is the additional issue of distinguishing sweet biscuits (i.e. "shortcake biscuits" commonly served with strawberries and whipped cream) from cookies, even in the southern USA.

So the analogy of tomato sauce on cookies begins to fall short, even in the south...

Things are rarely black-and-white, not even tomato sauce or gravy, or cookies or biscuits (unless badly burnt), regarless of culture...

Hence, why we all need to make sure we are on the same page although the recipe you linked confused me. Why are they serving biscuits and cornbread at the same time?
And in all my southern cookbooks, I have never seen tomato gravy.
And I have never seen it served in a restaurant in the south.
And now to get back on track.

To those reading this: check the wiki and your firmware before attempting this jailbreak as it is specific to one firmware.

After everything woks fine, can I delete the four files, 'jb', 'jb.html', 'index.html', 'frame.html' from de root directory ?

I would like to jailbreak my basic Kindle ereader, but I'm putting it off until I have time. It is running 5.6.5. I only turn airplane mode off for a minute or two at a time, and I frequently attach it to the PC for sideloading. I always look at the system folder to check for the presence of a partial firmware file. Nothing so far.

If it should succeed in downloading the whole firmware file before I can delete it, does it reboot automatically, or does it wait for a manual reboot before installing? I'm not sure about the two kinds of "off:" the 10-15 second power off press or the very long one, but I never do either. I only do the fraction of a second press. In other words, am I safe from getting a new version installed if I make sure that there is no fw install file on the device before I reboot?

It triggers the install automatically & silently. I *think* it should be waiting for the suspend timeout, but that might not be true anymore.

What New Englanders call tomato sauce gravy??? I was born and raised in New England, and I've never heard of that.

...and now back to your regularly scheduled discussion on jailbreaking kindles

That is what Guy said the other day or did I get my location wrong? He was either in Boston or NYC.

The JB works Pretty well in my PW3 device!

One question: A friend of mine has updated his PW3 for the last version without do a JB, if She's downgrade the firmware for the 5.6.5 it will woks too?

knc1 · 05-17-2016, 05:18 PM

If you find a way to downgrade the firmware (other than with the serial port), be sure to let us know.
