Downgrade new Basic Kindle
Hi,
I'm thinking about getting the new Basic Kindle. I was just wondering if anyone had one yet, and what FW it is using? I'm asking because if it can be downgraded to 5.4.0, then JBPatch should work, or not? |

You can only downgrade to a firmware built for that Kindle model.
Currently the KT2 (Kindle Touch 2/New Kindle Basic) and KV cannot be jailbroken. One MobileRead member has successfully jailbroken manually, with a serial cable. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247480 We must wait for JBPatch to be updated for the KT2. Hopefully someone will come up with new goodies. First we need an easy jailbreak. |
