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).

At this point your only way to jailbreak is to open the case and use the serial port. Is this a new kindle? If so, perhaps you could find a problem with it that would allow you to ask for an exchange. Many, if not all, new Kindles can run the jailbreak as long as you ensure they cannot update themselves before you do so.

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

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!

Is there any reason at all that you can think of to return it for exchange?


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.
