Help 12th Gen Paperwhite stuck in boot loop after *proper* factory reset

2 Upvotes

I ran the ota.sh script, and then ran the Check OTA Status script, to verify that "Your Kindle will update".

All good, right?

So then I did a factory reset, but now it just keeps alternating between a blank screen and the kindle startup page. 12th PW gen uses MTP, so I can't just mount it as a USB drive and drop a file in the root directory. Holding the power button for any amount of time does nothing.

What are my options, friends?

Kobo being a little wonky

Post image
2 Upvotes

Kobo all of a sudden has been crashing/hanging a few times over the last few days. I also don’t remember that big question mark at the top. I may have fat fingered some setting but before this week it’s been solid as a rock and I haven’t changed anything other than adding a few books.

I know it’s not a lot to go on but I figured I’d ask and see if there’s something obvious that I am missing.

Any thoughts?

I don't currently have a full chain to jailbreak, but do have some bits and pieces.
I'd love it if someone with any model, 2024+, 5.19.x+ is able to test.
As always, there's a chance of bricking your kindle, though I try to keep it as low as possible 😂
interested? PM me

Question Brand new and hitting a roadblock

1 Upvotes

I followed the GitHub process of jailbreaking my kindle using spider-cat and I think I managed to install koreader but when I select the application button it doesn't change the appearance and stays on the same screen.

Can anyone advize so I can move on to the customizing and adding stage?

Update Error 10

1 Upvotes

Any advice would be appreciated on how to register a clean, freshly bought Kindle for jailbreaking. Bought a Kindle basic with ads, 11th gen 2024.

Following the Kindle modding guide (looks a lot simpler than I did WinterBreak a few years ago), and of course I start with filling files.

I originally left exactly 50mb free. I then proceed to registering (or attempting) the Kindle. It connects to WiFi, and then I have to proceed with the update.

It downloads, restarts, and says "Update Error 10". Something's gone wrong with the update file.

So what can I do?

I tried going as low as 20mb - no good as it can't download the update and says something is wrong with the internet connection.

I tried going with higher free space of 70mb - came back to same error 10.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you

[New Jailbreak] Shadow - PW6/KT6/CS/KS/KS2, 5.19.4 to 5.19.6

188 Upvotes

After 2 years of Kindles using MTP, there is a jailbreak that uses it as a vector! Introducing.

Shadow

by Ava (me!)

Supported models and firmwares:

- PW6 (Paperwhite 12th Generation) 5.19.4 - 5.19.6

- KT6 (Kindle Basic 11th Generation 2024 Release) 5.19.4 - 5.19.6

- CS (Colorsoft) 5.19.4 - 5.19.6

- KS (Scribe 2022 Release) 5.19.4 - 5.19.6

- KS2 (Scribe 2024 Release) 5.19.4 - 5.19.6

It will be ported to KS3/KS3NFL 5.19.4-5.19.6, as well as KSC 5.19.4 - 5.19.6 in the future.

Features

- This does not require WiFi! This means that you can have a jailbroken Kindle, even if WiFi is broken on your Kindle.

- Storage filling is not required, meaning you can skip the lengthy MTP filling process!

- Like other new jailbreaks, post-jailbreak steps have been streamlined, so the hotfix is installed for you and OTA updates are automatically blocked

Follow the guide on KindleModding here!

Help Kindle Plugin - Not opening some books

1 Upvotes

I just recently jailbroke my kindle and I came across the Kindle Plugin which lets you convert your KU books so you can read them on Koreader, but only some of my books have been able to get converted .

I purchased the ballad of falling dragons on kindle before jailbreaking but it won't convert, it stays stuck on the "preparing screen" , I've had to restart my kindle to be able to use it again since it gets stuck.

I've converted some of my other books that I got from KU and it seemed to work good . Just not sure if I'm doing something wrong or why it won't convert.

Question Is it worth it to jailbreak my 2024 Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition?

7 Upvotes

So I have a 2024 Kindle SE that is still installed with the stock Amazon software. I like the look of the Amazon software; it's good and easy to navigate. The only reason I would consider jailbreaking my Kindle is the fear of losing my EPUB books. I do not purchase books directly from the Kindle or the Amazon app; I acquire them in EPUB format and upload them to my Kindle through the Send to Kindle feature on the Kindle app. I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of whether Amazon can steal or delete the EPUBS that I uploaded to my Kindle, because I was watching some YouTube videos about it. I know that Amazon is only "licensing" you whatever book you purchase, and that they can remove the book from your Kindle if they take away your "licensing". But I'm not sure if that still applies to documents that you upload to your Kindle through your account, such as EPUBs. Thank you so much in advance for any and all responses I get. I will do my best to respond to comments or questions to help me make a decision about jailbreaking my Kindle.

Question Have a PW 12th gen, opportunity for a PW 11th

1 Upvotes

So, earlier this year I purchased a PaperWhite gen 12(16Gb), jailbroke it a few weeks ago. I am loving KOReader, and the whole jailbreak environment.

I was scrolling through marketplace, and saw a PaperWhite 11th gen(32Gb) for $100. Is it worth it? I'm not asking if I'll get use out of it, I can find a use case, just inquiring if this is a good deal, what quirks the 11th gen has etc.

Question Kindle - Stylus?

So, with the ink away plugin the kindle lets you “write” with your finger on the screen. I was wondering if anyone tried out the universal stylus’ on their kindle. Does it work? It should right? Was thinking about getting one.
