I'm helping with PW4 JB > 5.10.1.3 but via PM only given how anti-JB the firmware updates have been of late.


PSA

I might be able to help with jailbreak for the waterproof PW4/Paperwhite 4/Paperwhite (2018)/Paperwhite (10th generation) only.

Those interested, please PM me with the following details about your device:

1. First 12 characters of serial number (gives us the HW model, revision and manufacture date)
2. Country
3. Retailer/Store
4. Color
5. Storage
6. with or without Special Offers
7. Wi-Fi or Cellular
8. FW version and stock or updated?

Thanks!


Notes:

1. All PMs missing the information requested above will be ignored.
2. All PMs requesting assistance with non-PW4 will be ignored.
3. Don't expect immediate replies to your PM. I don't spend my entire time waiting for PMs from MobileRead. Even when I'm browsing the site, I'm often browsing via mobile device where sending instructions is a major pain so I typically wait to reply until I'm in front of keyboard and mouse. I usually respond within 4 days so be patient and wait a week or so. If there's no reply by then, feel free to follow up.
4. If you're unable to send PMs, you can use the thread in the feedback forum below to request PM privileges.

Lol, np.

I added the following to the 5x JB wiki. Maybe you can add it to Open Sesame or the new Factory JB thread, too.

Special Case
PW4 running 5.10.1.3 firmware or earlier can be jailbroken. It might also be possible to jailbreak PW4 with later firmware. Please see this post for more information.

You need to PM that information to ilovejedd

See post #886 at the top of this page.

Since you are a new member, you probably have to request PM capability. Instructions for that at the bottom of post #886

Just finished eating the 60 pages, thanks to all to share your knowledge. After a few months using it, it is time to try the JB.

JB still works.

Someone contacted @NiLuJe and he mentioned the G8S prefix is most likely just factory related. Characters 4-6 are the actual model identifiers.
