Knowing what was on it before the update is only of interest if you where using the OTA blocking directory.
It is not likely there will be a jail break for 5.9.2 (at least, not in my lifetime). So put the OTA blocking directory name on the device when you get it. The point is to keep it on a version that can be jail broken, even if you do not intend to jail break for a few days, weeks, months, years, ... |

Instructions on how to block updates, but still connect to WIFI. See also: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=219986 Plug your kindle into usb before connectiong to wifi Create a FOLDER at the root of your USB drive named "update.bin.tmp.partial" That is it. This has worked in the past, all the way up to the most recent update before 5.9.2, though there is no guarantee it will keep working. |

The (open) "Master" is here: https://github.com/knc1/KOA2_Jailbreak If you don't have LyX, get that here: https://www.lyx.org/Download And if you want other formats (using the *.tex as input), such as MediaWiki (our Wiki markup), Markdown (several flavors, including github), or even AsciiDoc (among dozens of others, including two flavors of epub), get Pandoc here: https://pandoc.org/installing.html If from the blurbs on LyX and Pandoc you get the impression you have just entered the real world of technical documentation, you are correct.

Haha. I deserved that. I went back to the beginning of the thread and read it more carefully. Thank you for all the help. Looks like my replacement comes on Tuesday.

Sweet.
Replacement just came in. 5.9.0.1 Left wifi off Added folder update.bin.tmp.partial with nothing in it. Can this version be jailbroken? Afraid to turn on wifi. Did you get yours yesterday? Last edited by feelmaroon; 11-21-2017 at 06:23 PM. |

Hi, new here but want to help out. Are we still looking for virgin disk images? If things go as expected I'm getting my fancy new 32gb, no ads, WiFi + cellular in tomorrow. US shipped and sold, arriving registered. Read the posts to current but it seems like updates have been less frequent so I thought I should check in.
