KT3 can not jailbreak
I'm absolutely a newer in this field,so i have to seek for help .
I recently get a Kindle 2,it is also known to be KT3. when i first connected wifi ,it soon began upgrading automatically, I agreed innocently. Then disaster came! one day,i watched a pdf file in my kt3 but got a bad user experience.I started search for help.So jailbreak became my best choice. but my firmware version is 5.9.2.0.1,is the latest version.I have tried every way. 1. downgrade:but kt3 does't recognize the special firmware at all. when i use firmware fro amazon,it shows invalid updated file. 2. use jailbreak tool: in search bar ';installHtml' return nothing I am thinking ,can i make a updated firmware,version is newer than 5.9.2.0.1,such as 5.9.3.0.1 which is actually 5.8.2 from amazon but not special. Then we may downgrade.but i don't know how to do. please help me .Thank you! |

Your only option at present is the serial jailbreak. Be advised that this requires the proper hardware and procedure and involves opening your kindle and working with small, delicate contacts on the board. Using the wrong hardware or procedure can result in a paperweight.
If this was a new purchase then perhaps you can find something about it to merit exchanging it for a replacement. Assuming this can be done, ensure that the replacement does not update itself before you can jailbreak it. Dave |

And what do you mean by "not special"? I do not see that 5.9.3.0.1 is current: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=202065490 I do not see that they have ever released a 5.9.3.0.1: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=200203720 |

My kt3 is awarded from my company's annual celebration. It's not my payment,so it's not important to me. It doesn't matter to wait for a new jailbreak on 5.9.2.0.1. Thank you very much. |

You will probably have to wait for a long long time. One might never come out for it.
