I see you mentioned a glossary. It might be a bit of a help. So when can we expect this glossary? You said it, so does this mean you are going to create one? Thanks in advance. |

Just a data point for you. I finally updated my Voyage manually to 5.8.11 and the jailbreak did survive just fine.

Interesting: a user got new PW3 G090G105 with firmware 5.8.10.1 (3214560001).
Asked him to put factory 5.7.4 and look at menu Update (not to press). Last edited by hius07; 10-25-2017 at 02:19 PM. |

Maybe it is something country or region specific. or maybe they are "fixing" the problem with the VoiceView image. Have your person try to install the VoiceView package: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202199580 Note: That image is an "install by restarting" type of Amazon package, not an UYK type of package. Why? Because if that installs, then that firmware can be jail broken by this jail break. Since the VV image and the "Factory" images use the same package type. Note: If that person does not want the large VV files on their PW3 - then a "Reset (to factory defaults)" will wipe them out. That is: Do that if they are not wanted as part of getting ready to JB the device. Last edited by knc1; 10-25-2017 at 02:30 PM. |

I've edited my post, asked him to put factory 5.7.4 and look (not press) to menu Update.
This version is not mentioned in the Amazon source code list (same as 5.8.9.0.1). |

If that person can recover the deleted copy of that 5.8.9.0.1 install image from the USB storage, it would be nice. It should not have been over-written yet, and some FAT-32 deleted file tools can find those. |

I've bought a kindle KT3w that came with firmware version 5.8.9.0.1. I did all this and the jailbreak didn't work, is there some extra step for the special case of the 5.8.9.0.1?

You skipped this part: Quote:
If you want those directions now, you have to write what you mean by: "didn't work". Best that you describe each thing you did and what the result was (in more detail than: "didn't work"). Once you do that, I can probably figure out what state your device is in now and what you need to do. |

Edit: Ah, I suspect it is because I have not yet installed the mobileread package installer, which I think is not included as one of the steps. So I need to reach step 8 before the folder would be created. Last edited by Pajamaman; 10-27-2017 at 10:15 AM. |

If you haven't done step #7 I am betting you haven't done step #8 either. The "test package" is for testing (what is thought to be) a completed procedure. It is located where it is for people who think they have "lost" the jb after completing the process at some previous time. And I may have over simplified the message description on that part. |
