I followed grant2‘s tutorial step by step until part 4.
At this part I have to interrupt the boot sequence to get into uboot. Here I have to type „bootm 0xE41000“ to boot into diagnostics. In this tutorial I don‘t have to install anything before. Or do I have to install anything to get it work on my kindle? |

Have you ever used the "Erase (All)" diag menu entry on the device? What actions lead up to the device failure that brought you to using the serial port? |

It‘s a new device which works perfectly. I bought it to use it as an weather station with the screensaver hack. It has the Firmware 5.9.4 and so far I‘ve read there‘s no other chance to jailbreak it than using the serial jailbreak.
So I followed the tutorial until this part where I stuck now. |

5.9.4 is fairly recent.
There might be some changes present that these old directions do not allow for. (and of course, you do not use the quotes in the: "bootm 0xE41000" command) PS: Did you check if your KT3* / 5.9.4 firmware includes ADBd? If yes, somebody here more familiar than I with Android DeBug can give you directions on using it to install the single jail break file. * https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers Because, as you will notice, there are ten (10) "8th generation" Kindle models. Please use our nickname for your device when posting here (and/or fix your left column info block). Last edited by knc1; 06-13-2018 at 08:17 PM. |

If Not, the USB converter board interface is not working. If the USB is OK, it looks to me you are failing to stop the boot process: "Turn on your kindle, and watch the blank putty window you have open. As soon as text starts appearing in the window, begin tapping keys on your keyboard. Text will keep scrolling until the boot is interrupted Hint: If you you miss the chance to interrupt, and your kindle starts normally, you can "restart" your kindle from its menus and try again" Hope this helps |

This should show what kindle was sending over the serial part before you interrupted it The smart people here might be able to figure out what it means. |

Alexa must GO.
To the point: will jailbreaking allow me to get rid of Alexa?
I have three Kindle Fire Kids, which Amazon sabotaged by infecting them with Alexa. Numerous correspondence with customer service has given me the laughable suggestion that I "disable" Alexa...a canard, since it isn't removed, merely hiding, ready to spy on my kids at any moment. No, I want it GONE. I have a decent background in computers in electronics, most of this thread instructions looks do-able. But before I start, I need to know, will jailbreaking allow me to remove...permanently...Alexa? |

How should we know, because, err, you're in the wrong forum?
It's a bit like asking your baker how fine his cheese is... the two might go well together, but being an expert in one doesn't make you an expert in both . |

So, a Kindle Fire 7 Kids, 7th Gen is not a Kindle tablet?
Doesn't qualify as "any touchscreen in the 5.x.y" series? Doesn't appear in this list, as G0W0...oh, wait...it DOES. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/ne...te=1&p=3707295 So why can't I use these instructions? Why am I being told I'm in the wrong forum? And why so difficult for such competent and knowledgeable people to answer a generic question about their area of specialty? Can someone uninstall an app from a jailbroken tablet or not? If you simply don't know, just admit you don't know, instead of acting like a jerk to the new guy. AS or not, some things are universally not cool. |

This sub forum and thread are about Kindle e-ink readers. Those are special purpose e-book reading devices. They have nothing in common except for both being made by Amazon. |

This is one of my pet peeves too, people calling the "Fire" tablets "Kindle". Amazon stopped calling them kindle 4 or 5 years ago. "Kindle" doesn't show up on the box it shipped with, on the store you bought it from, or anywhere on your tablet, except the one app on it called "Kindle" that lets you read books. But that name has stuck around for so long, and probably will never stop being used. At any rate, the fire forum is here, most of the people in this forum don't have Fire tablets, and can't help. that sub forum still says Kindle Fire, because this forum doesn't let you rename things once they are made: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=243 You may also get good results here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire XDA is a forum that does a lot of android jailbreaking Last edited by coplate; 06-16-2018 at 11:12 PM. |

Your Fire Tablet runs Google/Linux (a.k.a: Android) and the Kindle e-book readers runs Amazon/Linux (no special name - it is a dedicated system). *) Because you are in the wrong forum. This sub-forum is specifically for the Amazon e-book readers. There is a sub-forum specifically for the Amazon Fire devices. Here is the link to the main forum which is headed by the links to the two sub-forums: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=140 Once you are there ( ^^^ ), click the link with "Fire" in its title. |
