Tools AdBreak - experimental JB for ad-supported devices (5.18.1-5.18.5)

[k_men]

Just chiming in to say that today I finally jailbroke my Kindle OA3 (5.18.2., no less).

Adbreak ran smoothly, with no issues, and now I'm rocking the latest stable KOReader on this beauty.

Thanks for all the work - it's made me very happy.

I'm sriting this post just to thank everyone on this forum. I successfully jailbroke my paperwhite 10th edition following a combination of various guides from this forum, the wiki, reddit forums, and some youtube videos. I firstly moved my kindle registration to Amazon France to enable special offers. I put some movies onto the Kindle leaving around 100 MB of free space to prevent auto update. I then followed the guide to use adbreak. The process went relatively smoothly from running the jailbreak scripts, running another script to prevent future update, installing KUAL, and finally KOReader. There were some hiccups along the way, but the blame was on me. My PaperWhite now looks even prettier after I put some transparent screensavers.

I'm still unable to activate wireless connection to sent books from Calibre, though. Any thouhgts or guides that I can follow?

Thanks again for all your hard work.

I have kindle paperwhite 12th gen with 5.18.5 version. It seems that these devices are no longer visible to the operating system as a drive. Whenever I hookup to the PC, while I can copy files through kindle app, I cannot access the device through file explorer. How are you suppose to copy jailbreak files if this is the case?

I can confirm that adbreak works on the Scribe (1st gen, FW 5.18.1).
I've successfully enabled "Special Offers" in my Amazon account, though I’m not sure it actually had any effect (only a new setting in the account section to enable ads on the lockscreen) — the “View all ads” section shows nothing.
There were no regular ads, only a generic Kindle Store Ad banner on the lock screen and a sponsored banner on the homepage. I managed to trigger the exploit through that sponsored banner instead, by clicking the “Learn more” link. The photo was taken after the jailbreak, and the banner seems to have disappeared since.

I should mention that I had never seen those lock screen or sponsored banners before. However, I can’t confirm whether they were due to Special Offers or just the default behavior, since I only connected my Kindle on the day I received it. I also tried performing a factory reset before the jailbreak, but it didn't change anything.

Anyway, thanks for the great work!

I am trying to click learn more on the same spot but nothing is happening
