First: K3 != KT3 (fixed it for you, as users still can't edit their own thread's titles).
Second: An updated Basic 2 on FW 5.10.x, no, not without opening it up (i.e., serial). |

There are threads here on both approaches. If neither is possible you will have to be happy with your kindle in its current state. Dave |

There are three (3) conditions required:
"New Kindle" "Never updated" "Never allowed to connect to the Internet" (many of the firmwares have a "first connect" flag and that not having been changed since it sold sometimes makes a difference.) |

Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for your efforts with the Kindles in this forum. I'm a long time lurker who just registered to ask some questions on the same topic. I bought a Kindle KT3 (8th gen), hoping I could use it for a little more than just reading books as I saw some people posting videos of jailbroken kindles running debian. Sadly those were not KT3s and when I found out that in order to jailbreak the KT3 I shouldn't have connected to the internet, it was already too late. My firmware is already a version that is not compatible with the jailbreak. My goal is to be able to use my KT3 as a Linux machine either by: - Running linux natively - Running a VNC client that connects to a Linux machine. All the while keeping the KT3 original software (if possible). Would you know if these goals are feasible on KT3 and how could I achieve them? I suppose the first step would be to jailbreak it through the serial port? Thanks! |

The KT3 (as are all grayscale Kindles) IS a Linux machine and Linux is running natively (on the bare hardware). It is the color display Kindles that run Android. I think we have both a VNC server and client posted here. But even if we do, I don't recall any reports of someone running it on a KT3. So you will have some ground breaking to do. |
