Oh, one of those designs just like the sliding battery compartment covers on many devices - -
Try to close it or open it without pressing on the correct edge, and that cover isn't going to work.

Not a big concern, they make Duct Tape in a dull black color which is a decent match for the color of the Kindle.

Makes no difference, your only* installing our signature certificate in the certificate store.

Amazing step-by-step! Thank you so much for posting. The serial cable made it very straight forward. I used an old Cat5 cable, blue tack (to hold it place) and conductive paint instead of solder.

Pedantics:
Step 20: I found a '*' instead of a '!'
Step 22: no password required
Step 23: Had to "mntroot rw" before "passwd" and "mntroot ro" afterwards

Unrelated:
After installing usbnet, I still had to add "-A INPUT -i wlan0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" to /etc/sysconfig/iptables so allow ssh over wifi.

My donation to the cause:
Games of Thrones themed 1072 x 1448 greyscale screensaver images for the Voyage (and PW3?). Unzip all files to create a directory called kvss. The rename.sh script will rename the files from 00 for the kindle into a sub-directory called tmpss.

20: A password had been set by the time you looked.
22: That is what the directions say. The notation '' (two single quotes) means "no password - just press return".
23: You do not have to set a password at this point, since the only access is by hardwired cable (I.E: It is (**should**) be physically secure.

Ah, no you don't, the USBnetworking add-in handles that, when, **IF** you follow its directions.

What is the copyright status of these files?
Are they in the public domain or what license are they distributed under?
From where?
Did you create them yourself?

I don't see how it gets set to 1v8 interface voltage.
(Maybe programmed by a special driver?)

Get a link from the seller to the technical datasheet and maybe I can answer your question.
Better ask about the driver requirements also.

I went ahead and ordered the one detailed in this thread.

Anyone willing to pioneer the world of 5.6.5 and this jailbreak method on the voyage?

Good to hear, I'll upgrade tonight and try the jailbreak on it when the cable arrives on Thursday.

Can't say it was easy, but then I was trying to adapt the "ethernet jack and tape method." Can't say I'd recommend it, but I think the frustration was worth avoiding the anxiety of soldering to spots that tiny. A factory reset when things started getting weird and about 3 hours later, everything is jailbroken. Glad to be through that. With USBNet up and running, hopefully the kindle can stay put together permanently.

My path was this from 5.6.0.1:

Update over USB to 5.6.5
Try to jailbreak
Fail miserably
Factory reset
Correctly apply jailbreak
Profit

Thanks to all and especially the OP for the walkthrough.

As in, you just taped down the wires to the contact points with electrical tape or something? That sounds...incorrect

It has been done and reported here.
(Without any mention of "easy". )

A bit fragile, but it only needs to last long enough to run a very few commands to get the jail break installed.

No, I meant, I wasn't sure I understood how it was done. There was talk of using some kind of electrical paint? And I don't know which kind. Thanks for clarifying though.
In the meantime, I found a US source for the cable used here.
