Kindle Basic 11th Gen (2022), can it be jailbroken?
I have tried all the search queries I can think of in the kindle thread and looked in the wiki, but I can't find a definitive answer to this. Can someone help please?
I am talking about the latest version of the Kindle basic model, Comes in Denim Blue and Black. Is it a function of the firmware or the hardware or both? For instance I see lots of tutorials for jailbreaking <5.14.2, does this model even come in a firmware that low? or can it be downgraded? Honestly I can't even find what the "identifier" or common name for this device is on the forums. KT5? K8gen? KB11? This makes it hard to find any info. Thanks |

And I didn't see the model number on that page, unless I missed it. G092AQ03240502P7 Thanks though! It's not a mystery model. It's just the latest basic kindle. Does anyone know if it can be jailbroken? Please see my question above. Much appreciated. |

Very unlikely unless you have a firmware version at or below 5.14.2.
You cannot downgrade firmware versions. |

if you buy a new PW5, you cannot jailbreak it as it has too new a firmware version to be jailbroken. And that was noticed back in January 2023 on a device bought in December 2022.

I'm afraid you can't jailbreak it now. The firmware is quite recent, and it tries to update to the latest version as soon as you connect wi-fi.
But in fact you don't have to jailbreak it to read books normally. |
