Regarding block OTA. You can test it as follows: download your version of the firmware (5.12.4, right?) and put it to the device usb-root. Non-blocked device should be able to upgrade (to the same vesion). Your device should not.

I'll test this later and report back!

I think we have enough people here to test all the versions pretty quickly, but if not I'll let you know!

tryol · 03-22-2021, 08:49 AM

Just a reminder since we're on a new page now.

If anybody has a device/firmware combo that's untested and would like to help me with getting this out as soon as possible, PM me with your Kindle's details! Please don't PM me for this if your device and version has already been tested!

The list of tested/untested devices is in the post on the bottom of the 4th page. I can work with both jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices.
I can assure everybody that there are 0 risks involved, no chance of bricking or anything of the sort!

Can officially say this has successfully worked on my PW3 running 5.12.2, and it's surprisingly easy

I'm new as well and I don't know why, but it won't let me send you a private message. If you give me an e-mail, we can talk there.

I downloaded the same firmware update, put it in my usb-root and the "Update your Kindle" button is grayed out. Is that caused by the lack of ota binaries, or something unrelated?

Also, as somebody who never updated their kindle, I'm not sure if automatic updates use the same binaries as the manual one. Can you confirm this for me?

Well, can you try the same with 5.13.3?

I tried with 5.12.5, still grayed out. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

This is the version I've downloaded and put in my USB Root:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow..._v2_5.12.5.bin

I also just checked my device version to confirm, yes it's still 5.12.4.

hius07 · 03-22-2021, 11:40 AM

Yep, it's KOA3 update.
For sure, try to restore ota binaries (with the same KUAL extension) and look at the UYK button if it is black.

hius07 · 03-22-2021, 11:47 AM

Final check: block ota, put 5.12.4 to the usb-root and reboot. There must be an update error.
