There are forums here, such as the main Kindle forum or the Calibre forum that would probably be the place about dealing with problems on a Kindle that is not jail broken. |

I actually have a couple of PW, a 5.8.9.2 and a 5.9.4. The wiki had conflicting info with some comment about higher fw versions being jailbreakable. Alas, there seems to be a stronger chance of bricking the Kindle on higher fw than there is of jailbreaking so that plan's shot. The rest was thread drift. |

If you truly need to jailbreak a PW at this point with newer firmware your only option is serial port access. This requires the proper hardware and the ability to work with tiny, delicate connections on the system board. If you are up to the challenge, or know someone who is, check out the thread on serial jailbreak. Dave |

I'll just keep my PW on stock fw until a more reliable method of software jailbreaking is discovered. |
