I have received a new(ish) Kindle 7th generation. It has been in storage for a while, so it's at Kindle firmware 5.9.4. Any possibility for a software-based jailbreak that involves a downgrade to factory firmware or something?
I know that it normally cannot be done, but what about the "special exceptions"?
I want to open the new Kindle, but I don't have access to a serial cable at all (not even online), so I have to look for somebody with a Raspberry Pi.
I looked for take-it-apart guides, and the best written guides were @knc1's KT2 Exposed thread and iFixit's teardown.
iFixit says that it's easy, mild adhesive, no hairdryer heat needed, only credit-card-opener, while @knc1's post says that it's difficult, delicate, strong adhesive, and specifically warns about using a credit-card-opener. Which one is it? I tried sliding a credit card, but the Kindle's frame won't budge.
