K5 Paperwhite Jailbreak (5.2.0 and 5.3.0)

Here we go - a new jailbreak method that works on all currently available Paperwhite devices, including Firmware 5.3.0 :cool:

Just download the attached zip, extract it and follow the instructions in the README.txt.

This is now the recommended jailbreak package for the Paperwhite. By default, it installs the following "components":

• The actual device jailbreak, i.e., the certificate which allows to install custom update packages.
• The Kindlet developer certificates.
• The Jailbreak Bridge.
• The Rescue Pack.

You can disable individual components by editing the jailbreak.sh file, but this isn't recommended. After all, there is a very good reason for installing every single one of the components, so I recommend to just stick to the defaults.

It is safe to re-apply the procedure as many times as you want - for instance, if you happen to unregister your device, the developer certificates will be deleted. You can simply re-apply the jailbreak to get them back.

Note that there are a few strings attached to the jailbreak. They are repeated in the README file, but I'll post them here as well, just so you know what you're into:

You explicitly agree to the following conditions:

1. Redistribution of the jailbreak archive is permitted, as long as none of the contained files are altered or removed, and NO other files are added. You MUST NOT redistribute the individual files contained in the archive. In other words: You are only allowed to redistribute UNMODIFIED copies of the ENTIRE archive.
   If you believe that you have good reasons for wanting to distribute (modified or unmodified) versions of the files, you MUST contact ixtab and ask for permission.
   
2. You are not allowed to publish any information about how to remove the Special Offers from Paperwhite devices without Amazon's consent.
3. You are not allowed to publish any information about using the Paperwhite's 3G functionality to gain Internet access for other devices (tethering).

In short: don't be a parasite. Pay the few bucks to Amazon if you want to remove the ads, and don't abuse their 3G.

IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THE ABOVE CONDITIONS, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO INSTALL THIS JAILBREAK, OR TO REDISTRIBUTE THE ARCHIVE OR THE CONTAINED FILES.

PS: this works on the Paperwhite only; it doesn't work on other Kindle models.
