Hi forum.
I have a gen 1 paperwhite which still has a clear enough screen and long enough battery life for me not to need to update to a newer model.
Long ago, I installed a jailbreak and the screensaver mod, and a couple other things largely relating to PDF viewers, and kual 2.3.1.
Oh, and the Back Door Lock (still showing Locked status)
My firmware still reads 5.3.6 as it did the day i ran the BDL.
I like my screensavers. I hate the new 'features' of the later firmwares that have really annoyed my gf (we got our kindles at the same time, but she's never modified hers), and i don't trust Amazon.
Can they bypass the old-ass BDL from way back then? Force a silent update without my consent?
If yes, I'll do whatever needs done to resecure my kindle, but if no action required, well, I like things the way they are.
