Then you just need to continue with Step 5. Did you actually follow the instructions from Step 5 and it failed? If so, describe in detail what happened.

Bit i didn’t get past that
I don’t know how to put the jailbreak file?

The step by step instructions are already here:

Is there a way to jailbreak through this mode?

You're currently on step 4-5 of the JB process. As long as you have USB access, you just need to continue with the guide (first post).

It makes me want to cry, I waited a while to see if they would get something out and I thought the development or jalibreak was abandoned, to my bad luck I am at 5.13.4.
Someday it will be possible to go back to 5.13.3 to be able to jalibreak?
The amazon support that does the firmware is very bad.
It turns out that being from Spain they do not have the audiobook reader functions activated (only in English), but if it is a kindle from the United States, this function is there.

At this point your only option would be to open the unit for a serial port jailbreak, assuming you have the proper tools and skills to do so without damaging it. There are threads on how to accomplish this elsewhere in the forum.

Came here to ask why the KUAL Helper+ isn't working, whenever I press the "Prevent OTA updates" function the checkmark shows up as expected but after exiting the KUAL menu and going back into it, it shows the things I've checked unchecked. Basically the functions aren't sticking and I'm confused as to where to go from here

[NiLuJe]

The checkmark isn't indicative of current state, it's just visual feedback on tap.

First off thank you for the very quick response! It's much appreciated Now my next question is how do I know I have it on? Is there any way to tell?

[NiLuJe]

Not without shell access, no.

On the other hand, trying to enable it via KUAL when it already is is perfectly harmless, so, it's probably on .

I see, well I tried testing it with something visual by disabling the custom screensaver feature and it didn't seem to do anything, is that an accurate way to see if it's working or not?

You can run kterm or Kindle Explorer or KOReader file browser and check if /var/local/system/SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK exists.

After refreshing the framework twice it seemed to work and disable the custom screensavers feature, Thank you again for explaining to me how it all worked

I imagined that there is something internally, I am usually handyman about these things, but I have not seen any thread on the subject ...
Anyway, the bad thing about opening is that the ip68 is lost, but maybe it may interest me. Also the alternative is to buy a second-hand one, but I don't think it's worth it, it shouldn't be long for a new model I suppose.
