Is anyone familiar with jailbreaking Kindles?
I have a Kindle Oasis (9th Gen) that my room mate is using. However, I want her to be able to keep on sideloading ebooks so I want to jailbreak it.
I tried jailbreaking it with WinterBreak: https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/WinterBreak/
I followed the instructions to the letter, double-checked I downloaded the correct archive that corresponds to my Kindle generation, deleted all files (including hidden caches) on the Kindle’s storage, made sure that the Kinde’s firmeware isn’t beyond the supported version range (5.16.2.1.1) but after disabling airplane mode and tapping the cart icon, it just loads the shop instead of executing the jailbreak.
Seems like I’ll have to try a factory reset next. Sigh.
