Tutorial LanguageBreak - Software Jailbreak for (probably) any Kindle <=

[fdppi]

Really thanks to @Marek for this wonderful work. I successfully jailbreaked my Kindle Oasis 2 and have KOReader installed.

One little annoying thing is it complains about registration. How to make it registered without being automatically upgraded by Amazon?

And it seems KOReader has Calibre integration. I also want to make it connect to my Calibre library in local network. How to avoid the auto upgrade again?

Thanks a lot for your help.

If you can limit quality of service or download rate from you router, do so.

Go to airplane mode as soon as possible. Check to see it an update download started and delete the partial download if it is present.

After registered rename the OTA binaries:

You can fill up the document storage to the point there is no room for a firmware update to be downloaded before you go online.

Restart the Kindle.
After that, if the binaries have been successfully renamed (I checked with kterm, but you have to know linux), you're good to go

Thank @Marek for your incredible works. I have jailbroken my Kindle PPW3 successful today. Also, I have installed KUAL and Koreader. Everything is OK!
But I have a little concern. While I was installing KUAL, it appeared these two lines, just after it completed:

Failed to remount rootfs RO, waiting . . .


Really failed to remount rootfs RO -_-


I'm not sure what this means, should I be worried?

Current versions of MRPI should be slightly less alarmist about that warning.

TL;DR: It's (mostly) harmless, just reboot your device to err on the side of caution.

So, I have researched about MRPI and knew that it is "a KUAL extension, that will plug into the Helper menu a single Install MR Packages button." Should I install this MRPI after installed KUAL, to fix that warning?

What does "mostly" mean? What will it cause when it's harmed?

Excuse my ignorance, but I had installed MRPI (mrinstaller) in this post https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...7&postcount=72, and it's still appeared the warning.

During the jailbreaking process, I lost my Kindle's registration information. I connected to WiFi for a brief minute to get the device registered again, and then back into airplane mode.

(Incidentally, KUAL didn't want to display until my Kindle was registered for some reason)

Now when I go to the home screen, it tries to get me to connect to WiFi "to download a free update that will enhance your reading experience for Japanese." I've checked and my Japanese content is already displaying correctly. Is there a way to either remove this message, or else sideload the update that it's trying to get me to download? I'm afraid that if I connect to WiFi again, it's gonna update the firmware version and then I'm going to lose the jailbreak.

Thanks!

can you tell me how to install collection manager, i have kindle paperwhite 5 signature edition

Is it an issue that root is mounted as rw? I've rebooted my Kindle three times, but it persists as read-write.

Issuing a "mntroot ro" command via USBNet returns:

# mntroot ro
system: I mntroot:def:Making root filesystem read-only
mount: / is busy
system: E mntroot:def:Re-mounting root filesystem failed

and when I run "mount" it shows root is as "rw"

# mount 
...
/dev/root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered)
...

For reference on my other kindle, which was jailbroken with watchthis it returns root as "ro"

/dev/root on / type ext3 (ro,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,data=writeback)

I have successfully JB Kindle oasis 3. But on main screen i am seeing register kindle as if its a new device, am i supposed to register kindle to use it or never turn on wifi again? I am new to JB scene so appreciate pointers!

[muggleMode]

I entered demo mode after doing the entire process to get out of "locked" mode... when I logged into my Amazon account all my hacks were deleted, I already had everything installing and working fine

Does that mean I can't be online? to much fun reading all these thread... i learn a lot haha

[Moed]

I am stuck in managed mode kindle but it is jailbroken and registered. Doing the steps on github of ;enter_demo does not get me to wifi page or store, just gets me some demo images then shows main kindle screen (with multiple shipping mode error) any help?
