Would this work for Kindle 10th generation 5.14.2 ?

Noob here, I just want to customize my kindle screensaver.
Yes mate its for ANY kindle < 5.14.2. (check his posts above). Just put your device in airplane mode until he releases this jailbreak.

Welp, airplane mode time. Thanks for putting this together, I can't wait until this gets released.
Does the folder trick still work where you place a folder that tricks the device into thinking that an unpacked firmware is awaiting installation?
I really would prefer that to one month of airplane mode.

Nope, the folder trick hasn't worked for years now (since firmware 5.1x.y IIRC). So the choices are airplane mode or to fill almost all storage space so the OTA downloader doesn't have enough space to successfully download OTA bin file.

Tentative release date: 28th April (+120 days from initial disclosure), subject to change.
Fun fact: PW5 remained unjailbroken for only 56 days after release date!
Will see if its just a hoax or not

Hopefully that future firmware update will not take as long as Amazon / Lab126 took to fix the exploit used for firmware 5.6.5 (that jailbreak method was announced in September 2015. and released in February 2016. ).

Alright, thank you! I‘m a bit out of the loop with Kindle hacking. Filling up the storage sounds like a great idea though!

I'll believe this and hope this is not sophisticated like updating multiple partitions manually.

Also if it is working then it should be working on all devices �� so happy didn't update my device in a long time.

aRe we talking abt this?
