https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=267541 I looked the hard way. It was on either page 3 or 4. Or link is here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275881 1st post, 1st one under historic jailbreaks. Now please do yourself a favor. Make sure you understand all the directions before attempting it. Last edited by Cinisajoy; 03-18-2017 at 05:36 PM. |

Is there a way to install initial factory firmware to PW3 5.8.8 jailed?
Jailbreak is safe, can install any bin packet if required. |

PW-3, now running 5.8.8 Jail broken? Not jail broken? Not that I can recall anyone trying to over-write 5.8.8 with the earlier "factory" version. but if the device is already jail broken - Add the "Rescue Pack" before starting (that puts ssh onto the 'diags' system and returns the function of "ENABLE_DIAGS" on the visible root). Use KindleTool to open the factory package - Running in the "Diags" system, over ssh, copy the rootfs.img file on top of the "Main" partition (mmcblk0p1). |

I've lost the jailbreak on my KOA running 5.8.8 and could not downgrade it to previous firmwares.
Is there any way to jailbreak my KOA on 5.8.8? Thank you! |

It is known to survive the update. Unless of course you used the "Reset" function on the device. - - - - - Read first line of first post. That is your situation now. Last edited by knc1; 03-20-2017 at 08:56 PM. |

I mistakenly used the "Reset" function on the device. Now I cannot jailbreak my KOA. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!
