because this version is too old and i want something more ergonomic and actual.
you are right no need to go to the version that can be jailbraked 2 or 3 updated version higher will be enough Last edited by lilirose; 06-25-2023 at 01:47 PM. |

KindleBreak is the easiest jailbreak in years and works for FW versions >= 5.10.3 and <= 5.13.3
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=338268 WatchThis works for 5.14.2 and lower, but how low it can go depends on which kindle model. Some people have had trouble following the steps for WatchThis. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=346037 There is a PW3 jailbreak for FW 5.9.6.1 that requires downloading and installing a large "factory" firmware. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=313086 |

You need to be asking in the Kindle Developer's Corner
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=150 I think there was a time when skipping a large range of updates was a bad idea, but I don't know. It is known that it is safe to do the 5.9.6.1 jailbreak on a PW3 running 5.9.2 (did you read the thread?) |

Hi, I have old PW3 as well, which version do you think has the most features/performance with respect to jailbreak-able?
I'm on 5.9.x |

My PW3 is running 5.9.6.1 which works well for me. Begining with 5.10.x firmwares just keep getting more hostile to jailbreaks with each new version. |

I just notice that starting 5.13.x, there seems to be new UI that pretty similar to what Android looks like. Personally, I don't like that (based on the screenshot), but what is the general consensus? Now I'm wondering what is the *best* version between 5.9.x - 5.13.x? All version on that range already jailbreak-ed and I will be mostly on the airplane mode anyway. Cheers |
