Unfortunately, as the OP warns you as well, that method doesn't work for anything on or above 5.12.x. The method in the "Block OTA by removing ota related binaries" thread could have worked, that's what @dhdurgee and @melksnor suggested to you.

Hello, I have a Basic 10th generation kindle with 5.13.4 firmware. Is it possible to downgrade 5.13.3 so that I can do the kindlebreak?

Is this a new kindle? If so perhaps it has a defect that would lead Amazon to replace it for you. I don't think they are shipping 5.13.4 yet, so that would get you one you could use this approach. Beyond that, how important is this to you? You could order another kindle and sell this one to someone else to cover part of the cost. Dave Last edited by dhdurgee; 03-26-2021 at 05:25 PM.

Jailbreak not working
I just tried following the tutorial, and it's not working for me.
1.) What device were you using? Kindle Paperwhite 4th Gen 2.) Which firmware version is on that device? 5.10.1.3 3.) What did the browser do when you navigated to kindlebreak.html? Browser exited, and on the home screen I get a dialog box as follows; Quote:
No Files in the root directory are as follows; Code:
[DIR] .active_content_sandbox [DIR] audible [DIR] documents [DIR] fonts [DIR] voice file.ser idme.txt jb jb.sh kindlebreak.html kindlebreak.jxr version.ser Rebooted Installed update_pw4_5.10.1.3_factory.bin Rebooted Confirmed that firmware version reported was 5.10.1.3 Tried the jailbreak, and got the outcome reported in 3.) above. Where to from here? |

Since you're already on factory fw, just proceed from Step 7 on this guide: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...48&postcount=1 Alternately, install normal firmware and then proceed with following the steps on the first page for the KindleBreak guide.

I followed Step 10 to install MRPI and KUAL - I also copied across the screensaver installer. But when I type ;log mrpi into the searchbar, I get "There are no results" |

I have been waiting for over a year to jailbreak my Kindle PW3 running 5.10.2. Serial JB wasn't a viable option.
I am planning to upgrade to 5.10.3. Don't want to upgrade to newer versions because they might be too aggressive in terms of forced OTA updates and potential battery drain issues. My query is once I flash 5.10.3 I can't downgrade to the original 5.10.2 even after applying the jailbreak, right? |
