The one for the KT3 (factory_KT3_5.8.0_initial). I decided I wanted the Constantia font more than I didn't want to jailbreak. (I hope the Constantia font is still available – or it should be the same, right? I think you said the KT3 (even with 5.8.11) would still jailbreak.

update_KT3_5.8.0_initial.bin I am still getting about 200 hits, and the first hit is still on-line. = = = = I expect that any version of the KT3 firmware can be jailbroken. An easy way to find out, try to install the VoiceView files: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202199580 If you can install that update, you should be able to install our jail break. (They use the same package type as the initial factory files do.) |

Again, thanks. EDIT: Jailbreak took -- no issues downgrading the KT3 from 5.8.11 to 5.8.0. Hotfix installed, KUAL installed (I think -- didn't do anything with KUAL Helper?). Upgraded back to 5.8.11 and KUAL still works, so it looks like the jailbreak is still working. Now I'm just looking for font suggestions. I see a font package that looks like it's for 5.6.x (link fonts?), not sure how they would work with 5.8.x. Really I just want Constantia, if that's available for this device. (I've got a LOT to learn about what I can do with the jailbreak.) Thanks for the help. I'll keep looking. (Might post something in the regular Kindle forum.)

Hello - I have recently purchased the PW3 Canadian Amazon version with the firmware version 5.8.9.0.1 (G090 G105 XXXX XXXX). I understand I should post to this before jailbreak so there may be a special instruction I can follow. Can someone help? I am completely new to this but have been reading to get myself upto speed. Any help to jailbreak would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone encountered a wierd behaviour where the .bin file would just dissapear without you downgrading the device or the "update your kindle" showing up on 5.8.11 ? I'm trying to downgrade a KT2 in order to jailbreak it but everytime I copy that .bin it just dissapears after I, safely unmount.

Are you kidding with knc1? He doesn't like it. Read the first post of the thread. Do you see green lines? |

Is jailbreaking the overall process, and downgrading part of it and therefore it will not work as specified in the first post ? Last edited by buttcake; 10-30-2017 at 01:56 PM. |

Yes, you cannot downgrade from the firmware over 5.8.7.0.1 thus you cannot jailbreak it.

Yes. You need to downgrade to an older firmware version that is vulnerable to the jailbreak. Amazon has blocked this type of downgrade in newer releases.

PSA:
Good news: At the time of this writing, the hotfix still works after updating to 5.9.2, if you find yourself in a situation where you need to re-install it ( registration change, etc. ) Tested with my file: Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.14_nomax_install.bin on PW3 Bad news: Downgrade to factory is still block on 5.9.x on PW3. Tested by trying to re-install the voice files which are in the same file format. Last edited by coplate; 10-30-2017 at 11:15 PM. |
