Does anyone still archive the old releases? Ixtab hasn't added new ones in a while and neither has dsmid.

Nor has twobob - who I think is gone from this scene forever.

- - - -

I have made 'archival' copies of source releases (including the couple that 'disappeared').

But no organized effort to make archival copies of the binary releases.
The main exception is a few of the 5.6.x series but not a complete set of those.

Brand new 7th gen Paperwhite 3 owner here, hope this is the right place to ask some questions.
I understand this method ONLY works for PW2 & PW3 on 5.6.5, so I put my kindle in airplane mode, and then downloaded the 5.6.5 update to my computer to transfer over via USB to update.

1: Is the method I described above good?
2: From reading every response on these 4 pages, Am I correct in assuming this method, once released, does not require a hardware mod?

It **should** work on any 5.6.5 firmware but hasn't been tested on anything other than a PW2 and PW3 yet.

1) Yes
2) Yes

Thanks.

5,000 views in a week, I think B.D. might want to change his estimate of only a 100 people going to use this.

This isn't necessarily supposed to work on anything other than a PW2/PW3. It might, but please don't get your hopes up and assume it will. Furthermore, only tested on English language devices (I think). May run into a lot of bugs when it comes out.

As a note, you'll have to factory reset your device before attempting the jailbreak.

I haven't heard anything back from amazon other than "we're still working on it." Hopefully something more substantial this week depending on what they're doing to implement a fix...

No problem, still willing to test it. NiLuJe can testify that I have done crazier things with my Kindles in the past.

Again no problem. My KV was bought in the US and although I connected it to my German account, I never changed the language as I want to use it in English. And factory reset is peanuts if we manage to JB the KV.

At least they answered. But if the rumour saying they will launch a new KV soon is true, then they might just not "work on it" at all, since they might launch the KV2 with a new FW (I am betting 6.0) which they would roll-out to the others devices anyway, thus having already solved the problem, just waiting for KV2 launch. Far fetched, I know, but stranger things have happened it the past (they did indeed totally surprise me with the PW3).

6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 10.x, and 11.x are in-use by Android devices.
I don't see any 9.x
I do see they had to change their numbering scheme.
