Any 1.8v cord or chip system should work, people have gotten $2 cables from places and those work. |

The BS101P FT232RL seems really interesting as it's really versatile and could be use in many scenario other than playing with kindles. Last edited by datanoise; 02-27-2018 at 12:38 PM. |

Would like to refer once more to this post by coplate
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=237 and confirm that on the newest PW3s there is no diag> prompt, so just EXIT LOGIN command should be entered. |

This one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-to-TTL-...V/173146249951 should automatically stay in 1.8v as the power will only come from the kindle itself.

Serial jailbreak service ?
Hi There.
Is anyone on this forum willing to perform a serial jailbreak on a kindle PW3 (Serial G090KB --) for a fair price? I am in the middle of moving and all of my tools are hidden somewhere .. plus I really do not have time. Please PM me if you feel you would like to perform a jailbreak for me. I live in Italy so someone in Europe wold be perfect for lower shipping expenses. Mikii |

Hi There.
I finished moving and I am ready to try the serial jailbreak on a mac running putty on mac ports A couple of questions: 1. My kindle PW3 is currently running on software 5.9.4. Will the serial jailbreak of page 1 work? 2. Will the jailbreak also downgrade the firmware? 3. Will I be able to upgrade the firmware back to 5.9.4 after installing the hot-fix ? 4. Should I do such an upgrade via amazon or should I use some other tools? Thank you very much. |

1) Yes.
Hint: Read the first post of this thread. Quote:
You post that it is a PW3 (a touch screen model). So that means you. Warning: Do not even try the procedure described here if you have trouble reading the directions. 2) That is up to you, just depends on what files you use. 3) Yes, but some of our add-ins may not work. Stick with 5.8.11 if you can live with that set of features. 4) Amazon only posts a link to the current firmware. But all other firmware versions are still on the server, just hand edit the URL for the version number you want. Then put your selected Amazon image on the device via USB. (That is: follow the Amazon directions for installing the update image via USB). Last edited by knc1; 03-16-2018 at 02:09 PM. |

Hi knc1,
Thank you very much for confirming this. I understand the jailbreak is on my on risk, I just wanted to double check the procedure was still considered to be valid on a 5.9.4 system. 1. About keeping the current system (kindle PW3 - Serial G090KB..... system 5.9.4) when jailbreaking, if you could point me directly to what files to use i'd appreciate. It looks to me I need your "K5 JailBreak (5.0.x - 5.4.4.2) | kindle-jailbreak-1.14.N-r14393.tar.xz" right? 2. The only feature I am really interested right now is you excellent "ScreenSavers Hack". Do you have any confirmation of this working with 5.9.4 (I like 5.9.4 because of the "see clock while reading" feature). Thanks again for your time and patience. Mikii |

This one: To make it use 1.8v you will have to remove the jumper completely. I have done my PW2 with it, and also in >this< thread I recommended it to another guy, which also done it successfully. Last edited by Irenicus; 03-24-2018 at 10:56 AM. Reason: add photo |

As the diags menu on the latest PW3 differs from the one in the first post, just for information, it is as follows:
(DS INFO)-Device Setting (TOUCH PLATE)-Touch Plate Test (OTS)-Operator test suite (o)-Misc individual diagnostics (WIFI NART)-nART factory test (USB EXPORT)-USB device mode (o)-Reboot or Disable Diags (POWER SUSPEND)-Lock screen (X)-Exit EXIT options are: EXIT DISABLE EXIT FASTBOOT EXIT LOGIN EXIT REBOOT EXIT WEB |

Right, and for the record this menu appears on the kindle screen not on the Putty scroll window.
