Anyone know reliable instructions for jailbreaking a new kindle? I did that with my old one, but had to retire it. Now I have a new one, and when I google instructions, they all have me scared that I'm going to brick it.
I have an 8th generation kindle running 5.8.5.02 firmware.
Here are the instructions I'm looking at. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showt ... p?t=275877

Kindle Jailbreaking
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Re: Kindle Jailbreaking
Dear Amazon, if you would just let me choose my own damned pictures for screensavers, I wouldn't have to spend hours trying to get shitty jailbreaking programs and shitty hacks to work right!

Re: Kindle Jailbreaking
Wait, you're going to void the warranty and risk destroying your device so you can...change the screensaver?

Re: Kindle Jailbreaking
It was a minor risk. I jailbroke my last one. Well worth the risk to not have to look at this image any more.

Re: Kindle Jailbreaking
I mean, how long are you actually looking at that image though? Shouldn't you be watching something on it instead of staring at screensaver images?
