Things don't work like that... Think about it! If that was the solution, chances are, somebody would have made a jailbreak for 5.8.10/11 already.

Even if you modify the image, you need to sign it, for your Kindle to accept it. Jailbreak is just that - allowing packages signed by the developer key, available in KindleTool. A stock Kindle can accept only packages signed by the Amazon key (which we obviously don't have).

Guys just last question. For developers like knc and many more.
I am running on firmware 5.8.10, so should i keep it that way or should i update.
Do you think in future somehow a new method might come out to jailbreak kindles upto 5.8.10
Thankyou Guys...but please reply

No downgrade for your firmware. You are stuck with stock or serial.

@knc @nilJe @geek master @branch delay and many more...
Please tell me should i keep my firmware to 5.8.10 and wait for you guys to release some new method. As last time i was so desperate to jb was when i was running on 5.8.7 but then there was not method to jb it that i found, so i updated my firmware, which of course i heavily regret. I dont want this to happen again.
So please guys recommend me whether i should stay on my current firmware (5.8.10) or not

What device?
Your information box must be out of date.

Different operating systems.
The grayscale (e-ink) kindles run an Amazon/Linux not a Google/Linux (a.k.a: Android) OS.

I suggest you go with 5.8.11. There won't be a jailbreak for 5.8.10.

@knc and the rest also don't have magic crystal ball or a time machine to get you an answer for "what will happen in the future?".

If don't want new features of firmware 5.8.11 (making fonts bolder and 14 instead of 8 font sizes) just stay on the current (create that OTA blocking directory and/or avoid using WiFi) and see if there is a new jailbreak method X months from now. If there isn't one you can then decide if you want to install newer firmware.

I left my then new PW3 on factory firmware (5.6.1.1) for something like 4 months while I've waited for potential new jailbreak, which was found for firmware 5.6.5 so I could just update to that particular newer firmware and jaibreak.


Theoretically you have better chances of eventually jailbreak-ing your device if there is bigger number of potentially jailbreakable firmware for you to update to. If new jailbreak vector is ever found...
