Recover from JailBreak Failure

pantera10684 · 12-27-2013, 04:06 AM

Hi, is there any tutorial for how to recover from jailbreak installation failure?
How could we recover our PW2 system to original one?

if the jailbreak failed, your device is not jailbroken. I do not think there is any recovery needed. But I think you might have a different issue you should be describing in more Detail?

It does no harm if the jb installation fails.

Something else has gone wrong or been done to the device.
Please describe all that has been done.

Also, give us a link to the jb you used on your PW2 and describe the indications given that it "failed".

Only I interested, there is no issue now. I mean, when I try to install jailbreak, for example, and corrupted FW of Kindle. How could we reset to factory defaults?

How could that happen?
Please tell us what you did when you: "try to install jailbreak"

In what way is the firmware of the Kindle corrupted?
How does your Kindle behave now?
What has changed?

Please give us additional details.

If this all is about a hypothetical case, it is a quite hypothetical one. There just isn't much that could break by doing a jailbreak (despite the name). It's basically a works-or-doesn't issue. In fact, if we were to indulge into theoretical matters that never actually occurred, there might be some point in the middle where an undiscovered kernel issue in the FAT32 driver happens to eat all your kindle's data triggered by an unfortunate cooperation of the jailbreak, some bit-toggling by sun eruptions and a flaky power source - well, you're borked :-) Not entirely true, but it really is so jailbreak-independent that it would really depend on the symptoms on how to approach the issue.

I'm newbie

is it recommended to install jailbreak?
1. will it affect performance and speed of kindle?

3. Could I upgrade firmware to newer version later?
4. Is it possible to install original/default firmware again?
5. will it be possible to open epub files also?

Your choice about installing the jailbreak, but will be required if you want to install anything else from this site.

1. NO -
2. Wrong link ! use: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186645
3. Unable to answer - depends on what Amazon does in next release.
4. The original/default firmware is unchanged by the jailbreak.
5. You may want to install one of our "reader" applications.
6. Either way, but you may want to update first.
7. Yes, but things can be simpler if you register before jailbreaking.

Yes,
1. I want to expand functions and number of application of my kindle? Does the other apps affect performance?
2. Could you show links best apps for my device in this forum? (I need tested apps)

Thank you very much,
