Jump Rx - Tx and see if you can see what you are sending on the terminal (no need to disconnect from the Kindle, it will survive).

Check the docs on how the CTS & RTS is used -
The chip might not work without those signals.

And/Or jumper CTS & RTS and set your terminal application to use hardware flow control.
If I Jump Rx-TX, I can see, what I am sending on the terminal (checked also with local echo, so every charakter is shown twice).

As far as I unserstand, if this happens, I don't need any changes to CTS&RTS (Hardware Fow Controll)-Settings. So when the soldering is correct/good, I should get a terminal connection, where i can interrupt the boot process.
Right?

Right (except for a bad ground connection).

The problem will be between the Kindle internals and the point where you put the Tx - Rx jumper.

What are you using for the adapter between your PC and the Kindle serial port?
What communications settings do you have selected in putty?

Baud rate 11500, 8bit, 2stop as previous thread. Only difference is I use windows 8. I do not have Linux PC. Dougle Profilic is used with Cisco serial without any problems. Very strange.

What is the LV Serial interface level of that device?
1v8, 2v2, 3v3, 5v0, other?

How did you connect it to the Kindle?
As in, lead by lead for each connection point.

PS: What do you mean by "previous thread?"

It's may be 3v3, but I do have the TTL splitter. Rx(center pin)/Tx Kindle to Tx(pin3)/Rx(pin2) RS232.

The image you posted is something called: "ground noise" -
Connect the ground lead of the adapter to the ground of the Kindle.

Question
Hi,
Many thanks for all the work done here !

With your help, I managed to get root access on my KT 2014, but now I'd like to clearly unterstand what to do in order to jailbreak it.

I have a 5.6.0.1 unit, so I have unterstood I'll have to do it the "hard way".

But what doest it mean exactly ?

I think I have to download some tools and run them on the Kinlde, but wich ones and where to get them ?

Regards

Copy the standard jailbreak scripts over to the Kindle, then from your root access run the `jb.sh`.

Used to be, the fake update*.bin would run jb.sh via a poison filename -- now you need to do it manually.
Note: It needs to be done on the main partition, not diags.

But where can I find the ?

They all seem version related, and I've never found anything else that '5.4' in the name.

To sum up, most of the explanations tell you "with 5.6, you have to do something else" but no link.

Correct - the self executing package only works for the firmware versions listed.

**BUT**

Its **contents** can be used **manually** from the serial port command line for many other firmware versions.

I.E: It is only the "automatic" behavior that is specific to the firmware version, not the contents.

Hi,
Sorry guys but I still need your help !

Here is what I've done on my KT with 5.6.0.1 firmware.

1) Get root access using serial port (normal boot)
2) mntroot rw
3) copy "kindle-jailbreak-1.14.N.zip" in kindle root
4) eject the Kindle so that I can access "/mnt/us"
5) Unzip this archive
6) Unzip "kindle-5.4-jailbreak"
7) run "jb.sh"

[root@kindle us]# ./jb.sh
info jb_install:mount_root_rw::Mounting rootfs rw
info jb_install:install_update_key::Copying the jailbreak updater key
info jb_install:install_fw54_exec_userstore_flag::Creat ing the userstore exec flag file
info jb_install:install_bridge::Installing the jailbreak bridge
info jb_install:install::Setting up MKK persistent copy

eips: pixel_in_range> (544, 936) pixel not in range (0..600, 0..800)

Is it supposed to be enough ? I don't see "Jailbreak" appear (I'v tried with and without rebooting).

My main goal is to install Duokan, but I'm not sure I can go any further.

Thanks for any kind of help
