In a surprising twist, <= actually *means* <=.
Shocking, right. (So, yeah, that'd be a big nope). |

Which includes your firmware/hardware combination. TL;DR: No, not even via the serial port. Buy a used PW3, give that PW4 back to Amazon. That includes the original poster and all others hijacking this thread. Last edited by knc1; 12-04-2019 at 05:02 PM. |

i have no doubt a solution will be found, eventually.... And for now, keep your kindle off the network and away from any updates.

If you bought the PW4 in order to jailbreak it, send it back. Get a Reader that does or can do what you want without waiting for a jailbreak that may never come. Last edited by JSWolf; 12-05-2019 at 09:54 AM. |
