Jailbreak on paperwhite 3 gen 7 possible?

[coolioniki]

Hello! Had a look around and wanted to ask if it's possible to jailbreak my kindle (I just want an easier way to manage collections, I have a lot of books and I just use moonreader on my phone). I have a kindle paperwhite 3, 7th generation. My firmware version s 5.14.3.0.1.

I have tried notmarek's LanguageBreak guide, which works but I don't get that log of messages in chinese in the top corner. I also have the kindle collections plugin, but realised after setting it up that I need LibrarianSync or collections manager to use it properly, which requires jailbreak.

Backup everything
Download 5.14.3 firmware from Amazon
Do factory restore, install the firmware (yes, the same one over)
Do LanguageBreak.

If it doesn’t help, install 5.16.2 + do factory restore and try again.

thank you!! worked for me. embarrassingly, i think i wasnt reading the instructions correctly and was copying everything in the LanguageBreak-16.11.23 folder and not just the languagebreak folder. but updating it to 5.16.2 versions helped me keep track of the versions of everything else i was installing.
