Hello all,
I am prepared to put the details out for the factory image jailbreak for the paperwhite 4.
I am not interested at this time in maintaining these instructions as software versions change, so I will simply write my method, and allow others who want to maintain it, or add it to the wiki to feel free to do so.
Because of that my instructions will not be in depth.
It does follow the same flow as the existing factory image jailbreak for older devices, the current wiki article is here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/5_x_Jailbreak
The process should be identical to the method used on PW3 and KOA2. Though my Step #s will not match
Step 0, start up brand new kindle, and skip the wifi screen, choosing to finish setup later.
Step 1: download factory image to your computer, and load onto the kindle
I will host the factory image for a while, and let it get mirrored out to the internet here:
The md5sum is
http://kindle.ficfeed.com/update_kin....1_factory.bin
-- Note here: if you are familiar with usbnet, it appears that amazons usbnet is functional in this build, and you can do the rest of the work manually if you would prefer, instead of using the following images, but you have to support yourself on that. -
Step 2: use Update your kindle in the settings menu
This step will have your kindle processing and on the tree screen for a long time perhaps 30 minutes, do not reboot or try anything during this time
Make sure your kindle is fully powered up before you do this.
Step 3: create the update blocking folder
After that, please create an empty folder on the kindle USB drive named 'update.bin.tmp.partial'
Step 4: Jailbreak your kindle
After that, you can run the jailbreak using the K5 Factory JailBreak (Factory FW) from here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
AKA "installHTML". Se existing documentation on running this
Instructions on how to use are here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275887
Step 5: Install the hotfix/bridge to keep the kailbreak after update
After that, you can install the hotfix from here

NiLuJe was amazing and got this working really fast.
It is only currently packaged for devices with Serials G000T6 and G000PP.
( wifi 8GB and 32GB )
Version JailBreak-1.15.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip
Post Edit date after Nov 8, 2018
Step X: update to newer Os or do whatever else you want on your jailbroken kind.
Most software will probably not be updated for this yet
This should give you the basic setup if I did not break anything.
There is always a chance that you could be bricked, so be prepared.
This has only been tested on Wifi 8GB and Wifi 32GB with serials that start with G000T6 and G000PP.
This has only been tested on devices that shipped with 5.10.0.1 (3337430015)
