Assistance with a kindle keyboard wifi
I just grabbed one yesterday, it has firmware 3.4.2 on it, I can't find a jailbreak anywhere, nor any guides, can anyone assist? To be honest, I just want to be able to organize my books and read manga on it :S

The first thing you have to do is find the jail break listing.  On thread index page of this forum, just below the second blue bar - A row of filter setting boxes - Left box, select 'tools' from drop down list - Right box, 'show threads', just click it - Scroll among the filtered listing of thread titles, find one about "NiLuJe's snapshots of ...", click that one - You are now on the page listing the most recent of recent - First section heading (Packages targeting ... K3) - First item listed (Kindle 2/DX/DXG/3 jail break) - Get that one. (You'll need some tool on your pc that can un-archive the xz format archive.) To get to the original thread - See last entry of that first listing: 'Legacy Hacks' ? Click that link. Follow directions in first post and in any ReadMe titled document in the archive. = = = = Once you have that done - Then you can find the manga reader posted here. A bit of a learning curve, but you will probably want more than just that over time. |

I assume that's the one? When it's installed, will it still show kindle 3.4.2 as the firmware or will it display something custom? Sorry for all the questions, I used to know how to do this but its been yrs. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 For the legacy methinks? I ran the update but can't tell if it took :S I feel like a n00b

That all seems correct.
No change to the firmware version that is displayed. I don't recall what feedback the K3 jail break provides on success. Try to install one of the update_*.bin packages for your K3. If the "update your kindle" selection is gray'd out, then either the package isn't for your device or your not jail broken. |
