I have G000 P812 7452...
5.9.2(325069044) Tried to jailbreak, uploaded update_KOA_5.7.4_initial.bin in order to downgrade, but upgrade button is not active. I guess the version I have is not downgradable. |

For nearly 200 years, various people have been proclaiming that: "A special providence protects fools, children and ..." If you where to check that model number in the identification table: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers You would find that you have a model: KOA2 If you where to read the file name of the image file you tried to install, you would see that it was for a model: KOA See highlighted sub-string above. |

I nearly missed disaster... my second try, I am following this wiki. But it clearly says Customer firmware 5.9.2 can not (yet) be jail broken. So does it mean:
a. I can't jailbreak with 5.9.2 onboard and need to downgrade to factory version first, then after jailbreak I can upgrade again to 5.9.2 b. I can't jailbreak at all with 5.9.2 onboard Last edited by armkbdotcom; 12-06-2017 at 08:21 AM. |

It means what it says.
Regardless of the devious path you might wish you could follow to get around the statement's meaning, it still means what I wrote it to mean. The various devious paths are blocked from use by 5.9.2 You can not jail break 5.9.2 You can not downgrade 5.9.2 to something you could jail break. You can not even jail break the device if you stand on your left foot and hop around while chanting a magic invocation. Short Answer: No, give up. Last edited by knc1; 12-06-2017 at 08:23 AM. |

I do have a question for you:
Did the device have 5.9.2 installed when you purchased it? If so, where did you purchase it? (Amazon, non-amazon store, etc). It could be important for us to know if the device is now shipping with 5.9.2 installed (and from where). |

Amazon(.de Germany) sent me as birthday gift end of Nov. I didn't initially check the version, but I remember I went through update once I turned it on and started to play with options. At that time I didn't even know that jailbreak is possible. So 5.9.2 was not initially installed on it.

That just means it was shipped with some earlier version and it updated itself. coplate had his jail broken the day after release. The new hardware/firmware combination has perhaps the greatest number of changes at any one time. And it hits us when we are at an all time low of available developers. * It isn't the jail break that we do not have, we have that. There just isn't anything that runs the way it is really supposed too ready for it. = = = = (*) We are getting pretty short handed here when I write something more that just answers to questions. I retired from writing computer code decades ago. |

So I got my KOA2 today, and unfortunately I hooked it up to wifi because I didn't read enough to know how to skip wifi setup. It updated and couldn't be jailbroken.
I'm returning it for a replacement in two days, but can anyone point me to the newest guide on how to jailbreak the KOA2 before then? Because I'm having a hard time working out if the KOA things will work, or where the info actually is. Thanks! |
