I'm going to need slightly more details about that device for that: its color, first; and, if possible, the original country of purchase.

Can kual and koreader be installed? Well regarding the details ill try ask the seller. And if i may ask, why such details needed?

Isn't "4G LTE US" even better information than original country of purchase?

I'll add those two in the next round of rebuilds (which is planned for early May, e.g., ~2 weeks).

EDIT: Just expedited a rebuild

Thanks to all how where working on that. With that I was able to get a new Kindle Voyager jailbroken. Hurray, back to my love device.

For my old one the screen was broken and I didn't got a new one because there was no jailbrake. Now got one from ebay with 5.6 updated to 5.13.3 and Jailbrake worked as it should.

Hi, I want to jailbreak my old KT5. I have to update him to a rootable firmware, but it's not in the list in the FAQ tutorial for updates. Firmware that is on it atm is 5.3.73. Could someone help me out :-) TIA

Or does anyone know how to read incripted epubs from the online library on a PW3W, 5.13.5? that would be a great help too :-)

Check the Offical side for firmware updates: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW

If you have the link to your update file try to chnage the name of the firmware file to the onye you need. I was lucky and my one was still online.

e.g. for the voyager:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...age_5.13.6.bin
to get the 5.13.3 you can use
https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...age_5.13.3.bin

Tank you! Sadly I'm al ready on the newest update for my device. I tried the Kubrik but it didn't work.

@Rominams,
You can’t break DRM of online library epubs. I don’t know what your library is, but Overdrive can be connected to Amazon account.
As for your Kindle Touch, use old JB tutorial: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=186645

Only if you are located in the USA. Outside the USA, libraries do not support Amazon format ebooks.

BTW, while you can remove encryption from library loans, it's not an activity that I personally support since I do not own an ebook that I have on loan.

We have cloudlibrary. I just prefer reading on an ereader instead of my phone or tablet. It's just stupid that I can't do that with a Kindle. So they almost forse me to buy a different one just so I can read my cloudlibrary books on an ereader.

Hi folks

Been lurking here for years and decided to create an account out of desperation. I just got a new Kindle Oasis 3 (32 GB) with the S/N prefix G0011L (well not entirely sure because it reads as G001 1Lxx xxxx xxxx). Anyway it came with firmware 5.13.5 installed but since my S/N prefix matched the tested ones here thought i'd be able to downgrade my firmware to a jailbreakable version and go from there. Unfortunately, none of the versions I tested out using the download link had any luck. Whenever I pulled my Kindle out from the USB (after placing legacy firmware in root directory) I'd get an Error pop up with the Update your kindle option grayed out. Is there anyway around this?

Thanks

I don't know how you got the idea that being on a list of all known kindle models means the firmware can be downgraded. The only current kindles that can be downgraded are older Paperwhite 4's.

By the way, are you sure yours came with 5.13.5 out of the box and didn't silently upgrade on you? If so, that means that new in box unjailbreakable kindles are now out in the wild.

Just jailbroke my KOA3 running 5.12.4 and it went flawlessly.
However I just want to confirm something I noticed before continuing with the hotfix.
I understand >=5.12.X versions can't reliably block updates and have the renameotabin.zip extension, but have not added it yet as I haven't gone ahead with the JB Hotfix.

On the JB hotfix download page there no mention of KOA3 being supported, and on the post linking to it specifies downloading 1.15.N, while the version I downloaded is 1.16.N.
I bet I'm probably overthinking this, but I'd hate to get this part wrong after keeping my kindle on airplane for months.
