Tutorial KindleBreak - Software Jailbreak for (almost) any Kindle <= 5.13.3

[je51fer31son21]

hello guys is there any way to downgrade kindle 5.13.7, i wanted to jailbreak it to try some stuff like debian linux and python.

[mergen3107]

No, you need FW <= 5.13.3.

Hi, I have a Kindle Basic 3 / KT4, G0910L.
I'm at FW 5.11.0.

My browser crashes after I load open the HTML file in the browser, but nothing happens after. No log, and the files are still there. Tried the JB hotfix and it didn't work, so it's definitely not jailbroken.

5.11.0 isn't listed, does this method not work on it? What should I be doing instead?

I upgraded to 5.11.1 and tried again, and it worked without any issues.

Hi there

Will there be support for the PaperWhite (PW)?

I'd love to get this working for my B01D

Hi! Can't get this bit to work.

I'm using a 10th generation Kindle Paperwhite, G000 T207, firmware 5.12.5.

When I went to kindlebreak.html, nothing happened - the page is blank, but nothing freezes or crashes. (I have Airplane Mode on.) I've tried refreshing and checked for typos.

I don't seem to have a file called kindlebreak_log.txt in my root directory, but the rest of the files are where they should be.

Please bear in mind that I'm REALLY not a tech expert, so talk to me like I'm five years old or so!

:ignore all of the above, I had the firmware wrong!:

Your firmware is too old. It needs to be between 5.10.3 and 5.13.3. Fortunately this is easy to remedy. Just google Kindle Oasis 2 firmware 5.10.3 and download and install it manually. Do NOT connect to wifi as this will update your Oasis to the latest firmware and you'll be out of luck

The jailbreak will not delete anything. Everything on your device will stay as it is.

"Invalid protocol
The experimental browser cannot download files using this protocol.
Only HTTP and HTTPS protocols are supported. "

Hello everyone, I am currently on 5.13.7 and was wondering how long do this jailbreak take to be released? I put my device on airplane mode and removed my wifi key to avoid any future updates until a new jailbreak. Is it worth to wait on the new jailbreak and not update my device in the future? I really would like the personl screensaver function and the koreader.

Same concern

[Methanoid]

I'm confused as F**k now... the processes on JB are rather complex now

I have a KT2/Basic2014. I can jailbreak it and install hotfix. Then I JUST wanted the screensavers hack which then says it needs python which then says it needs MPRI which then says it needs KUAL but KUAL says install it using MPRI. Paradox?!

I dont care for ANY other hacks bar Screensavers... can someone tell me what order I install what in for PLEASE?!

Hello,

I am unable to jailbreak my Kindle Paperwhite 2.
After following your instructions and entering the path into the browser, nothing happens and I see just a blank page in the browser.

My SN starts with B0D4
Firmware: 5.12.2.2 (3791510038).

THe firmware is also not listed in your thread, but is a smaller version than 5.13 so should technically work?

Can you help me or add support for version 5.12.2.2?

You need to upgrade your Kindle to a version within the list; the most recent version available for your device would be 5.12.2.1.1.
