Deregister while keeping JB?

ajs256 · 02-16-2025, 10:57 PM

Hi, I have a PW5 that I jailbroke with WatchThis. I want to deregister it so I can link it to a different Amazon account. Is there a way to do that while keeping the jailbreak? Any gotchas I should be aware of? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Should I just backup the kual, koreader, etc. directories and rerun the hotfix after deregistering?

This question comes up every so often but AFAIK nobody who actually did this has offered an answer yet. I might suggest you give it a go and report your findings here, this will surely be useful to someone else.

To be on the safe side I would suggest you restore the OTA binaries (if you renamed them) before de-registering, as this is the most frequent source of issues with resets, but once this is done I guess the worse that could happen is that you’d have to jailbreak again.
