Announcements & Updates

5.19.1 for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe 3rd Generation has just been exploited by scam.net, approximately one month after these models release.

Huge shoutouts go to:

• @hhhhhhhhh for discovering one small part that ended up being the key to this exploit being possible
• @kluyg for testing the code on their personal Kindle Scribe 3rd Generation, and being willing to help me test the updated version a week after my first attempt failed spectacularly.

Please do not bother any of the above people, or scam.net, for access to the exploit. You will not get it early.

Much work has to be done to turn this into a functional jailbreak, as many things have been changed by amazon so much existing code no longer works, but a jailbreak will probably be made from this at some point.
