Updated + reseted a jailbroken kindle pw5, am I cooked?

thatonegirl · Yesterday, 06:00 AM

Well, everything in the title and details: it's on 5.17.1 before and the update get it up for a not nice present, and even worse than coal: 5.18.5.0.1, and before I got the chance to recover the jailbreak (Run Hotfix), my brother, give me another worse present: snatching the kindle out of my hands and reset it. Yea emergency.sh & ;log is not working, and recreating the Run Hotfix.run_hotfix file in the documents folder did nothing.

The damn worst part is I am not in the US and still a teenager therefore have no credit cards to special offers! How nice of my dad to spend a little more to remove those ads! Even those test cards from MasterCard is not working. Am I cooked or is there something I could try? (and before you guys hit me with the just enable renameOTAbin, this is a refurbished kindle, and I have just jailbroke it with WinterBreak.)

I think you and your siblings should have a talk about ownership and boundaries 🙈

Is the Kindle working like it was not jailbroken? If it is, I would guess that's how it will have to be.

yeah, it act like it isn't jailbroken. I am very much trying to enable Special Offers to use AdBreak.
