Hi everyone. I wanna make a JB on my PW5. Will I then be able to register it on amazon and use its tools (like Sent to kindle or goodreads)?

I was unable to jailbreak a KV on firmware 5.13.6. Followed the procedure up to Step 7, get error message “Application Error the selected application could not be started. please try again.” Followed Step 8 and Step 9, the User Guide displays and the jb script apparently never runs. Device stays in demo mode and the only way out is the demo menu Resell Device option which does a factory reset.

So is there anything I can do to jailbreak, or is this a one try only procedure? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your effort!

How do I know if my device is successfully jailbroken?
Tried the method twice with my KT2 with firmware version 5.12.2.2, after bin update and reboot out of demo mode, the home screen seems the same as before.

The UI doesn't change.

See the first post in the Open Sesame thread for instructions on installing custom packages.

Cheers! I thought there might be something to tell you this device is jailbroken.

You would have to use a serial jailbreak.

Had the sam issue, just redo everything from the very beginning. Restore and set language and all he stuff.

If u got the Aplication error, than ur good to go, just Hard reset and it works.

i was at this step as well and wasnt able to instal KUAL, so i redone the Jailbreak, but it didnt gave me the "Application Error" and hitting "Getting Started" didnt changed anything.

If u guys want KUAL to work on ur voyage you need the azw and both update files to make it work. After a hour of trying i managed to install KUAL

good luck

So I did try twice, jb did not work either time. Will try again. You refer to azw and update fiiles - don't recall that being part of the jb procedure itself so are they in the KUAL step? NB I have previously done this successfully with another KV on 5.13.6. Thanks.

Hello dear visitors, I tried to jailbreak my kindle - but I went to menu where no buttons working - and I cannt continue my jailbreak or just leave it. It stucks, and after long hold on power button it came baсk to the same menu. I see on the screen in the first line "This demonstration device is either missing content or is disconnected from network" and the second line "configure device" .
