K5 JailBreak (5.0.x - 5.4.4.2) | kindle-jailbreak-1.11.N-r10837.tar.xz | 2014-Aug-22 22:56:57 | 381.0K | b2750855099a1f60b7ea7f8f9544b084 | K5 JB

Instructions:
Download the kindle-jailbreak-zip file, and unpack it. In here, you'll find a few files.
Unzip the contents of the kindle-5.4-jailbreak.zip archive to the root directory of your Kindle.

Now, eject & unplug your Kindle, and go to [HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Update Your Kindle. The updater won't actually ever run, this is normal. After a few seconds, the words **** JAILBREAK **** will appear at the bottom of your screen to confirm that the device is jailbroken . You won't see this message again, it's simply a confirmation message.

You are going to have to ask in the developers corner if you can't figure it out. I don't have a PW2.
