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

- - - - 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? |

I think someone else already volunteered, but I also have a KV (Wifi) that I could test with.

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... |

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. |

I don't have my hopes up too high for it working on the KV, don't worry. Still willing to sacrifice the device for science.
