Again, I'm not the developer of this jailbreak. So if there are any questions, I'm going to assume the community developers will help the folks out as they have been in this thread.

How is it plagiarism saying make sure you have the correct cord? Or unplug and replug the cord? Or don't use the dollar store cheapy. Now this is just me but if I had asked that computer to device question and just got back links I would wonder if the OP really knew anything about computers or if they just knew how to make a website? I would go looking elsewhere for the jailbreak information. Oh and yes, I have pretty much seen all those questions in other jailbreak threads. |

Next question: Will geekmaster's kindle video player work after your jailbreak?

PS: you probably assume wrong as the developers are getting older or busier and would figure since you did the tutorial you have the answers. |

I think you need to update your procedure.
On a PW2 there is no need to upgrade to 5.6.5. You can JB from 5.4.2 (or 5.4.3.2 following knc1's instructions). Then just run the hotfix, and after that update up to whatever version you want and JB should persist. Updating to 5.6.5 is an unnecessary step for PW2. |

I think these are the safest steps to follow at the moment. The other jb methods are dicey. Some have even bricked their devices!

Hmmm. Two of the bricked devices said they used this thread. The developers have been working day and night for two days fixing the bricked kindles.
Did you write the downgrade? In your original post Did you write the jailbreak? In your original If the answer is no, then you cannot say with any guarantee that YOUR jailbreak works. It is not your downgrade or your jailbreak. Knc1 did the downgrade and branch delay did the original jailbreak. Did you change any code? You might also like to know all the problem kindles had special offers. Or had originally come with special offers. Last edited by Cinisajoy; 07-08-2016 at 08:55 PM. |

@swifty:
The Chinese version of this on kindlefere.com did not copy your graphics. You might want to provide them with the pictures. |

Use this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=275877 There is a shorter sequence for the PW-2. No pictures, more words, but also more general. |

ugh
i'm stuck at step 1. I've just downloaded, update_PW2_5.4.3.2_initial.bin, chucked it in the root dir, and "update your kindle" was greyed out. So I reset the thing, thinking it may need some trigger to read / , but it still was greyed out, so I plugged it in to find that the bin wasn't there anymore - did my 5.8.1 just delete it or something? I'm trying again, I might try downloading another file just in case this one is corrupted, haven't checked the hash yet.. edit: Ok maybe it just didn't copy right the first time(even though the size on the device was 385,752kb. It's currently updating now. Will update on how this all goes =] Last edited by lionus; 07-18-2016 at 07:36 AM. |
