The firmware on this thread is only for the Kindle Paperwhite 3. Doesn't work on any other models.

Is this a new device, never connected to the Internet? Has been connected.
Is it a "refurbished" device? No Is this the firmware it arrived with or has it been updated to this version? arrived with Is it registered? Arrived with this firmware. Is registered. Does it have ads (Special Offers)? I can't find any such settings for this. Don't see any ads either. Does it have a pass-code protection or parental controls enabled? No What country was it sold in? Australia What country was it delivered to? Australia Was the seller an on-line Amazon site or was it a third-party seller (on-line or brick&mortar)? I'm unsure, it was a gift. A PM would be greatly appreciated for the bin file. Thank you. |

I'm at step 5, downloaded the "main-htmlviewer.tar.gz" and also inserted it into the folder alongside with /documents. After eject the usb,..etc.
I typed ";installHTML" in the search bar but nothing happened (it shows no search results). I plugged the USB in to check if there is any "Jail broken" in /documents but there isn't. The kindle seems to be slower noticeably. What should i do next ? P/s: After step 4, I installed the "update_pw3_factory_5.8.9.0.1.bin" and it had been stuck in the loading screen for a while before functioned normally. And the *.bin file just disapeared in the device's storage. I'm using a PW3 5.8.9.0.1 (3175970011) |

You horribly mis-spelled the search bar command:
;installHtml Linux, like other Unix based computer systems is case sensitive. If your having trouble with the directions, use these (directions, not files): http://knetconnect.com/koa2/KOA2_Jailbreak.xhtml The jail break procedure is the same, but of course you must use the various files mentioned in the first post of this thread, the files for you PW3. |

Hey guys,
I just got my new Kindle Touch PaperWhite WiFi (serial: G090G1, firmware 5.9.2.0.1) I read the wiki page, but it only mentioned 5.8.x versions, not 5.9. Can anyone tell me if I can jailbreak this device or not? I would like to add the KOReader for better PDF reading, better collection manager and ePub reader. Thanks |

Thanks for the answers.
Any suggestions for improving the collections without jailbreaking? |

Not likely, depending on what you mean by: "improving" (improvement).
Give us some idea of what you had in mind when you wrote that. |
