Hello again :)

Like the title says, here's a FW 5.1.x JailBreak!

It's heavily based on yifanlu's jailbreak, with a few tweaks to make it more Touch centric,
and an updated delivery method for FW 5.1.x ;). So, as always, thanks to everyone involved in Touch hacking, particularly yifanlu, ixtab & geekmaster ;).

Latest Updates (09/05/2012):

JailBreak v1.2.N (Firmware 5.1.x support).

INSTALL:

Jailbreak:
Spoiler:


Note for Kindle 5.0.x Users:

Please use the "data.tar.gz" file instead of the "data.stgz" one ;).




Download the attached kindle-jailbreak-1.2N.zip file, and unpack it. In here, you'll find a few files and directories.
Leave the directories alone, and upload the data.stgz file to the root directory of your Kindle.

Now, eject your Kindle, and go to [HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Restart. During the reboot you should see a pretty Jailbreak image,
and a new 'book' will appear in your Home screen to confirm that the device is jailbroken (You can safely delete this 'book' ;)).

And that's it, your Kindle is now ready to install custom hacks!


ChangeLog:
Spoiler:
  • Jailbreak:
    • v1.2.N:
      • Works on firmware <= 5.1.2 :).
