Hacks Jailbreak for PW on 5.6.1.1 Firmware?

rebeltaz · 04-24-2023, 01:57 AM

I have looked at every jailbreak I could find. Most likely, knowing my track record, I'm missing it (fingers crossed), but...

Is there a jailbreak method that will work with a PW (B024 serial number) Kindle running 5.6.1.1 firmware>?

IIRC PW1 with that firmware can be downgraded to 5.4.x by copying older firmware update bin and forcing device reboot by holding power button for 20? seconds while it is still connected via USB cable to your computer. (if you disconnect it the bin file would be deleted.)

And then after successful firmware downgrade you would use jailbreak method for that older firmware.

For info on how to get a link to download that older firmware you should read my comment here:
