I have a kindle oasis (KOA2) with firmware 5.9.2.0.1. According to the first post I have to be at 5.10.3 or later (not too later). I have long had the file on my oasis that prevents updating. How do I update the firmware, while controlling the process so I don’t get 5.12.x (evil) installed? Is there a preferred firmware in my range.
BTW, my wife’s PW3 is 5.9.6.1. That puts her in my situation too. Thank you. |

@jangell2: You should be able to sideload the update manually, regardless of the OTA blocking mechanism. (i.e., just copy the .bin at the USB root and eject, it'll get picked up automatically).
(Fair warning: I haven't updated a Kindle in years, I may be misremembering things ;p). |

hello everyone,
I accidentally updated my kindle pw4 to 5.13.7, fortunately the jailbreak survived. However yesterday I found that there is some problem of the Traditional Chinese fonts (not a big problem, just the position of the comma and full stop), I tried to fix it but failed. stupidly I done a factory reset tried to solve the problem. in the end the problem didn't solve and the worst thing is that the jailbreak has also been gone.... I noticed that you cannot install the hotfix in firmware 5.13.7. is there still anyway to bring back the jailbreak ...? |

My "Update your kindle" option is completely greyed out, is it possible to install the JB Hotfix via MRPI, or am I SOL?
I had to factory reset because my library was corrupted and was filled with undeletable books. |

@chpoit: You're not supposed to be able to use the "UYK" option for anything else than the hotfix.
You've also failed to mention which FW version you're running, and how old the packages you're using are (and you've elided the MRPI logs, so I can't tell from that either). |

If I bought a brand new kindle paperwhite, (september 2021) would I be able to jailbreak it?
Or will the firmware be too new on it? If it's unjailbreakable I'll just sell it.. so I'd like to know without opening the sealed packaging. Many thanks! |

No, you cannot know the version without switching the device on.
