Yeah, the sticky *purposefully* omits some device/FW-specific shenanigans to avoid confusing (even more so than usual ;p) new users .
The most prominent of these omissions is indeed the downgrade cutoff, and the hackish downgrade cutoff (i.e., hard-reboot trick). That last one is important for the PW1, for instance, because its final FW is not directly supported, doesn't handle direct downgrades, but still supports downgrades via the hard-reboot trick . (And, fun fact: despite owning a PW1, this one took me a couple of trips down memory lane to even remember when someone asked me about how to deal with a PW1, and a few contradictory PMs from my part to get to the bottom of it ;p). The KV thing, which I wasn't familiar with (because I never had a KV), would probably be the only other "major" thing like that. I'm wary of adding anything to the sticky itself that would make parts of it contradict itself, which is sort of what mentioning this would do . But I do agree that it is important information to have available *somewhere*... Last edited by NiLuJe; 01-07-2020 at 04:08 PM. |

Only to be sure, as things were discussed which really doesn't belong to the question. Are blacklisted devices normally jailbreakable and can I install koreader and stuff or access also kindle store or will none work? Kind regards

A lot of people don't approve of using lost/stolen (blacklisted) devices so don't be surprised if you get push back on that.
In short, you will not be able to access the Kindle store or anything else online with a lost/stolen device. You can jailbreak it if a jb is available and use it offline only. Even updates and time correction will have to be done manually. A jb will not grant you access to the Kindle store. |

Nothing Amazon related is going to work on wifi or 3g. Nothing. Well in theory, Amazon could track your device & report it to police, although that's probably unlikely to happen.
Wifi to non-Amazon sites should work, at least after editing the network configuration. I don't recall if Kindle uses a proxy. |

Yes, Amazon does use a proxy.
They also have other means of controlling the Kindle's network usage. Sorry, but that is as much detail as this forum's guidelines allow. (bottom of any page, last blue bar, click "Guidelines", read section 8 and the link in section 8 to the site's policy statement) |

Getting help to jailbreak a blacklisted Kindle is against the sprit of the forum even if it's not against the rules. NO help should be given. So please don't give help. This Kindle was either lost or stolen and we don't know. In either case, Amazon know the owner no longer has it and whoever handed it over should not have done so.
