KPW3-32g version jailbreak failed
I downloaded 5.7.4 fireware of KPW3 and copied it into the kpw3. But after updating, it stuck in the reboot screen (the big tree). Then I can't reboot it and can not find the device when I link it to my computer.

First 6 of the serial number please.
And plug it into a wall charger for the next 72 hours. |

I can't enter the system and didn't register it on amazon. So I can't find the serial numer...

No worries.
We have determined the software jailbreak doesn't work. Please charge it and then you will need to do the serial port jailbreak. |

The warning was on the directions when you jb your 4GB version. To add support, we need the usual: First six characters of the serial number (it is on the box label as "DSN:") Wifi ? 3G ? Bluetooth? Country of purchase, country shipped from, case color. That model number table (the one you didn't read) lists everything that our KindleTool can package for. |

Our KindleTool maintainer is away at school but should have some time at the next school break. And: Spread the word around your native language forums - We need someone with a new-in-the-box device and access to a Linux system to see if we can recover the initial factory firmware. Have them PM me. |

But I think most of KPW3 32GB version users are in Japan because of the E-comic demand. Unfortunately I can't speak Japanese... Last edited by zivilyn; 11-02-2016 at 09:19 AM. |

The devices are not being distributed in this country. Until we find someone to work with us the only choice is to use the serial port jailbreak. Which will not be of any use until we update KindleTool and rebuild all of the packages to work on that model. |
