Not possible at this point in time. Only if a new exploitable vulnerability is found for the KOA2 firmware will a software jailbreak be possible. At present nobody has located the serial ports on the KOA2 board, so even a serial jailbreak is currently not possible.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If you updated the firmware without doing JB, then definitely no.

The current fw version is the only version that is relevant.

Thanks for the clarification. My KOA2 is fortunately still on 5.9.2.0.1.

Can I jailbreak on this version, then upgrade to the latest firmware and re-apply the jailbreak? The dark mode shortcut in the latest version feels like a good reason to finally update.

No you cannot. The last jailbreakable version is 5.9.0.6.

I see. I guess it's better to just update it and forget the jailbreak then. Thanks for helping figure this out.
