What is the step by step process to jailbreak it ?

As it says in the title, this thread applies to firmware versions 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2. Those versions predate 5.12.2 by many years.

Software jailbreak will not work for firmware 5.12.2

See below for hardware jailbreak using the serial port inside the case.

Stickied.

But it won't help you much, as @j.p.s already gave you the links to what will *actually* work on your device (i.e., not a software JB).

Any harm in running the JB Hotfix twice? I'm not 100% certain I ran it once... anyway to know? Is there a clearly changed file I can navigate to and say "Oh yes... I ran the JB Hotfix."

@Homer_S: Not really, not without shell access and having a vague idea of what you're looking for.

Thankfully, it's perfectly safe to rerun it .

I'm not afraid of shell... I used to root my DirecTiVo back in the day. But I'm happy just to rerun. Also, I've had this thing for like a year and never had the WiFi on. I'd like to turn it on without Amazon undoing all the work. Also, I might like to register... I assume that is safe to do?

It's kind of a catch-22, as you kinda need a working JB to install USBNet in the first place ;p.

But feel free to check out the bridge script if you have some time to waste ^^.

----

You'll probably want to look into the various ways people have come up with to block OTA updates before turning WI-Fi on. If your device is still currently on an older FW, the KUAL helper extension's block OTA button should do the trick, though.

I can't quite recall quite what the cutoff point was for this method being defeated, though. 5.10.x?

When in doubt, check my own doc ;p.

If I got that right, the block button stopped being effective on FW >= 5.12.x
