You get points for trying, but we're gonna need the right part of the right S/N: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers ^^

Unless you have a brand new device which Amazon hasn't released officially, you're talking about a K4. The jailbreak is here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=191158

Confirmed.
On the back of the case of my K4 is printed "Model No. D01100 ..."
And on the front it says: "Demo Kindle Not for Sale"
Which did not slow down the person who sold it to me at all.

its a black one, i read they were 5th gen? it has the faster page load speed, i noticed that straightaway.

no 'serial number' on the back or packaging, unless hiding in another state - there isnt anything with a B prefix, apart from on receipt (see below)

sorry if image is large - but my camera is rubbish.

I have a FSN on the box which starts with 902 and ends in V0..

also on receipt I have a B007hccod0 : 814916017782 ..

Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Page 2 : Device Info

For example:
Wi-Fi MAC Address: xxxxxx
Serial Number: B00E xxxxxxx
Network Capability: Wi-Fi

Our Kindle numbering is based on the firmware version, not on marketing terms.

The footer of the Settings page shows the firmware version and firmware build number code.

For example:
Version Kindle 4.1.1 (1813030025)
(Which is the version installed by Kubrick)

As a special case -
Once upon a time the K4 black and the K4 silver ran different firmware versions. (prior to 4.1.1 - the first to run on either)

So here you will find things for your machine listed as:
K4 (in the post prefix filters)
K4B (in old posts, before Amazon built a common firmware)
K4NT (in old posts, before the K4B)


Duh...
What was the original question?
? How to find custom things for my machine ?

ahh didnt realise it was in the settings, thanks - perfect answer. I have jailbroken before, but it was easier back then (i have a kindle keyboard so there wasnt many other kindles)


thankyou so much everyone for your help!

@rasseru: I moved your picture to an attachment, it was indeed breaking the forum layout a bit .

Wait! Don't run off just yet.

Your receipt said: "B007 ...." - which isn't something in our index list.
What does your "settings" page show as the first 4 of the serial number?
Is that also a "B007 ...." ?

@knc1: That *might* just be the ASIN of the product page itself on Amazon.

Exactly the point I am trying to get clarified.
(I didn't buy mine from Amazon, so I don't have an Amazon receipt.)

@knc1: .

On that note, I added a column with the common nicknames we use on the Forum to the S/N wiki page, that might help others .

To jump in here: Mine has serial number 9023… which is also not in your index. What now?
