Another update -
Made identifying the nickname first and added a warning to stop if the model is not in the table. That should save people from discovering the hard way that nothing packaged with KindleTool is going to work (including the 'hotfix'). Yup, somebody tried that, and learned the hard way already. |

I have a really silly question. During the jailbreak I was really inattentive and probably missed a step after downgrading.
Is it okay if I start fresh - downgrade again and slowly continue with third and fourth step? Is it like formatting my computer disk and installing a fresh version of OS? |

You might try a pot of coffee, or your other preferred 'stay awake' solution (pun intended) first. |

I've cut all my books with their "kindle files" before the downgrade. I've made very few bookmarks and not annotations. I use about 6 collections. Use the Kindle's Cloud Account or just Local? Both, but I use a lot the local You had a passcode set? Yes This was an ad supported (Special Offers) Kindle? No (removed the ad with Amazon support) Do you recall what version of the firmware was running when you started this downgrade process? 5.7.4.1 Was the device registered? Yes What are the first six characters of the device's serial number ? G090G1 Thank you for your help EDIT : I've tried to put the DO_FACTORY_RESTORE to another computer : Same problem, the disk disconnect too fast like knc1 said before. If we can't find something, serial port will be the last solution ? Last edited by SteveJordan; 07-06-2016 at 04:03 AM. |

I've jailbreaked PW3, special offers enabled, without any problem. But if i update the device to the latest firmware, it kind of disappears. Jailbreak itself is still there, because if i downgrade again it's back, but on the latest FW things like KUAL and Kpvbooklet are hidden. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Okay, this time I was able to get to the very last step.
After uploading the Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin file, the button Update your Kindle is grayed out - cannot press it. After searching through the threads - I'm supposed to install mkk and kual afterwards. then place the hotfix in a certain folder? I have no idea which file (from mkk zip) to copy to my PW2 4GB Kindle. Spoiler:

From where? Link please. List the contents of the archive it comes packed in - If the modification date is prior to July 4th - you got an out-of-date 'hotfix' Was there any problems with installing the special JB file in the previous step? "After searching through the threads" DO NOT stray from the first post of this thread other than via the links included in the first post. Last edited by knc1; 07-06-2016 at 05:47 AM. |

Yes, serial port will be last choice if nothing else is found. |

Its contents are : Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin from 4.7.2016 CREDITS from 20.2.2015 There were no problems installing the JB, no errors whatsoever. The screen flashed and rebooted. All is working normally, I did not do any other modifications. I appreciate the time you're taking, to help me and other people! |

Just stand-by, do not do anything, do not change the registration status, do not do a 'reset', do not do anything at all. There is a time-zone difference involved, we may not hear from NiLuJe for a few hours. |

At least one person reported that their Kindle (a KT2) required over an hour for the downgrade to complete. |
