Is there a way we can make that any clearer?

Just downgraded/hacked/upgraded back my B013 Voyage without any problems. Thanks to knc1 and other wonderful people who made it possible!

It is mentioned in step 2 that you'll loose all your collections (and implied that you'll need to manually re-organize all your books later). I found out that if you synchronize your collections to Amazon Cloud prior to Factory reset, you only need to re-sync them back and then add all of them to "Downloaded" category (so they are be marked with black star) after you'll move your /documents folder back to JBroken device. It worked for Voyage and will probably work for all devices with recent firmware such as simple Kindle and all PWs

Thanks for the information, I will try to work it into the directions.

That part of the directions is still "safest way" - since I didn't know for sure if what you describe would work with the newer firmwares.

Yeah, I just did an edit pass on the USBNet bundled docs, it was starting to show its age in a few places, thanks for the pokes .

(It'll hit the next snapshots, which will come when needed).

@Kindol: Please recap in details what you tried to do vs. what you actually did .

If Amazon would just stop releasing devices with unknown model numbers, maybe we could catch up.

I don't have the new "Distribute" button working on my PC yet, but would be afraid to push it now -
What with the rate new models are turning up.

I seem to have a voyage model that doesnt seem to be listed in the serial table.

The first 4 of my S/N is 9013 per the device info on amazon.com

We need the first SIX characters of the serial number, and support can be added.

That would be 901309

My new Kindle basic(white) is G000 KA instead of the G000 K9 in the wiki. Not sure if I am going to do the JB on it though.

I PM'd NiLuJe, so support should be added as soon as he has time.

@batpuppy: Yup, the white one is not handled yet, I'll fix that ASAP .

@jetuser: That's the basic WiFi one, it should *definitely* be on the WiKi. (It just wasn't seen with the 90-- prefix, yet, so thank you for that ).

In any case, you don't have anything to fear, everything should be okay and supported .

sure, sure.

basically what I tried to do was to jailbreak Kindle paperwhite 3 black Wifi, the one without ads. This is what I did:

1. Kindle Paperwhite 3 black arrived yesterday running 5.7.4, I connected it to the wifi and got it registered I followed all the steps and when I put the kindle-jb-factory.tar.gz and typed ;installHtml nothing happened. Screen just flashes back to the home page.

2. I decided to download and install 5.7.4 from pastebin. It was installed absolutely fine, it took less than 10 minutes. I put the kindle-jb-factory.tar.gz and tried again and it failed like before.

3. I used both Linux and widows both failed

4. I reset and tried, it failed

5. I was advised to try and install hotfix anyway just to see. But hotfix update failed with error 7

6 I reset it and kept it unregistered with airplane mode on again, it failed

7. I used 4 different browsers to download kindle-jb-factory both in Linux widows again it failed.

8 I used the snapshot (v 1.2) kindle-jb-factory again it failed

9. I tried with different cables, different USB ports with/without the magnetic cover it also failed

So am pretty much run out options but I will keep an eye on this topic if you would like me to try/test anything different please let me know.

Many thanks

P.S apologies for any mistakes/typos I might have made.

@Kindol:

1. Had no chance to work, it requires a factory FW, not a production one .

2. That's not the right file, you need to look inside that first tarball for the main-htmlviewer.tar.gz one.
(Alternatively, it's been updated and uploaded as-is in @BD's release thread).

That should basically resolve all your troubles .

Note that if by "reset", you mean "factory reset", you will *have* to reinstall the factory fw, because that reset will switch a factory FW to a production one.
