I'm new here but I really appreciate the help and advice from the more technically proficient than me here. In the process of clearing off an old kindle paperwhite (serial number Serial Number B024 xxxx) I stupidly re-registered it and it updated the firmware to 5.6.1.1 which is, apparently, the most recent update available for this kindle (according to the Amazon page). I was hoping to jailbreak it to put software that allows me to read .pdfs more easily.
I see posts about how to jailbreak that cover firmware up to 5.4.4.2 and one coming sometime in the future for 5.6.5 but it looks like 5.6.1 is in a gap. If updating to 5.6.5 is impossible for my PW1 and the firmware is already updated past 5.4.4.2 am I screwed? Will it be impossible to jailbreak it without opening the back and soldering? Is this hopeless? :help:
Thanks in advance for any help.
