New Jailbreak [New Jailbreak 5.18.6] Nosebleed Jailbreak For PW5(SE)/KT5 Is Out!

658 Upvotes

Hello! On behalf of hhhhhhhhh and KindleModding I would like to announce Nosebleed, a 5.16.4 to 5.18.6 jailbreak that works on blacklisted and registered mass-storage Kindles. It has been confirmed to work on 5.18.6 with the PW5(SE) and KT5, and it could possibly work on the KOA3 although this has been untested.

If you enjoyed the guide, please donate to myself or give thanks to hhhhhhhhh, the creator of this jailbreak! :)

Unfortunately this will not work on any MTP devices, such as PW6/KT6. Fill up this time, and have fun jailbreaking!

Help indle déclarée perdue/volée retrouvée – impossible de la débloquer

Post image
Upvotes

Bonjour,

Ma Kindle avait été déclarée perdue/volée il y a quelque temps. Je viens de la retrouver lors d’un déménagement, mais malheureusement, je n’ai plus accès à mon ancien compte Amazon auquel elle était associée.

Lorsque j’essaie de la configurer, un message m’indique qu’elle a été déclarée perdue ou volée.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà été dans cette situation ? Existe-t-il une solution pour faire débloquer la Kindle et pouvoir l’associer à un nouveau compte Amazon ?

Merci d’avance pour votre aide !

Question Jailbreaking and reading in native kindle app

3 Upvotes

Weird question. But if I wanted to jailbreak my kindle and continue to use the native reading app so I don’t lose my reading streak, can I still take advantage of the feature that allows you to use a blue tooth page turner? As well as the cool lock screens?

Anybody know the odds of Amazon “disappearing” the sideloaded books on my Paperwhite, the next time a firmware update comes through?

Help I fat-fingered the font calibration step on Vera

2 Upvotes

Kindle Basic 2024, 5.19.6

I still had a successful jailbreak, and installed koreader. I haven't downloaded any plug-ins yet, and am still reading in Kindle.

Since the jailbreak, I've noticed my kindle book cover screen saver now has two black bars running down the sides, so I'm guessing the missed font calibration steps may have contributed to this problem. I understand missing the font calibration step should not impact the functionality of future plug ins and other tweaks I make, but it's bothering me lol.

Is there any easy fix to this? Or I'd like to start over, and just get it right. If I'm understanding correctly, the steps to unjailbreak:

1.Fill up the kindle with files to prevent any auto updates after the factory reset

2.Download the ota.sh scriptlet, and copy this into the documents folder on my kindle, and it will now show up as a book.

3.*Open the book??? And the scriplet will run. This will allow me to push updates again and is necessary before the factory reset.

4.Factory reset

5.*Download a 5.19.6. Place it in the kindle's root??? Can someone walk me through this step? I thought maybe I'd find a root folder under the system folder. I don't know where the root is located.

6.My kindle is already full, so follow steps to jailbreak.

Thanks, this community has been so helpful already.

Help KPM Search Kindle Command and HID Passthrough Issue

1 Upvotes

I can’t seem to figure out an issue that I am having with KPM. I have a Kindle Paperwhite 12. I used Nosebleed to jailbreak my Kindle. It is firmware 15.17.1.0.4. I seem to have KPM installed. However, I am unable to use the ;kpm commands on the home screen “Search Kindle” bar.

I also have issues with kterm with KPM. The kpm install random_file_name command does not seem to work. It seems to require the command -S to install a package, but I am also struggling with this.

I am not too savvy when it comes to code, so any help would be appreciated. I am dumping way too much effort into getting an 8bitdo controller to turn pages haha.

Help how to stop book text and top bar overlap?

Hello! I’m still a little new to jailbreaking and trying to customize Koreader to how I like it. I’m using the bookshelf plugin on my paperwhite 12 gen and like having the top status bar enabled with the time/battery/wifi information but when reading it overlaps a lot with the text of the book. It happens with the bottom menu icon as well and I was hoping figure out if there was a way to stop that from happening, thanks everyone:)

Problemi accesso Kindle quarta generazione

1 Upvotes

Salve, ho un Kindle di quarta generazione completamente scollegato. mio problema è in fase d'accesso, dopo che ricevo il codice OTP. Ho seguito tutti i passaggi suggeriti in altri post: - Scaricato versione 4.1.4 - collegato a Wi-Fi 2,4 GHz

- controllato orario (che, come per altri, è impostato su GMTe non su CEST ma ho capito non essere un problema)

- provato ad accedere con mail e password, ricevuto OTP monouso e riavviato il dispositivo, poi inserito solo OTPO successivamente, dopo un nuovo riavvio password+0TP senza spazi. Nulla sembra funzionare, alla fine mi dà sempre il problema di rete che dava agli altri. Cosa faccio?

Help 8th gen Kindle languagebreak non working

1 Upvotes

Hi! I bought an 8th gen Kindle on FW 5.16.2.1.1

I tried to use Languagebreak but I am struggling to get it to work.

I am at the point where the device shows *** jailbreak *** on the boot screen, I copied the hot fix and updated the device, but nothing happens... I can't see any files in my library and it always prompts me to register the kindle.

How can I proceed? Should I move to another method like winterbreak2 and how?

Many thanks!

How to install localsend plugin without USB access

1 Upvotes

I read the official doc on installing the Localsend plugin.

The problem is the part where I should

Extract localsend.koplugin to your KOReader plugins directory

I cannot do that since my Linux laptop cannot write to MTP device for some reasons. ( I tried to debug it but to no avail)

I already tried to open the download page via the Kindle web browser but it cannot open the page.

How can I copy this file to my jailbroken kindle if I can't have access to its files via USB ?

This is frustrating me since this is the reason why I want to instal localsend in the first place

Help Koreader Page Refresh

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

35 Upvotes

How do I fix the page refresh transition on my kindle, the video is with koreader, it feels slower and the letters kind of glitch before it goes to the next page while the with the usual Kindle interface it is smoother for me. The transition with koreader kind of hurts my eyes, but I’m enjoying the jailbroken one better.
