When will the 1.18.x system be available?

I am also waiting for it
EDIT: my kindle is now all the time on airplane mode so it won't update

Just found out about this WinterBreak, and was so sad when I discovered my kindle has the 5.18.1 version. I wish I could help with a new version. Waiting for good news about an update.

WinterBreak is a jailbreaking method that is limited to the firmwares that are vulnerable to the exploits it uses.
It is not and will never support 5.18+

Seems like 5.18+ is outside the scope of this project. We'll have to wait for another jailbreak to come along, or make one ourselves. For now, it's probably best to leave your Kindle in airplane mode.

That still won't work read the description

Is it confirmed that this jailbreak will never work on 5.18.1? Or are the developers working on it? I've seen different information in different channels

I am also waiting for it , can we rollback to prev firmware?

Seems like the exploit method that winterbreak used was patched, so currently it will never work unless a new exploit is found. It isn't just a minor incompatibility.

I am also upset since I just recently learned about jailbreaking but my kindle is already too high version. Hoping for one in the future 🙂

I believe you cannot roll back the firmware unless you are already jailbroken.

If I understand it correctly they already found a new exploit for the >=5.18.1,<5.18.4 and they are working on the new exploit version. So, please, don't update your firmware to 5.18.4 (and disable OTA)

The new jailbreak will be available soon, but it won’t work for 5.18.4 and above. If your device qualifies, you should enable Airplane Mode, remove all saved Wi-Fi connections, and fill your storage now so you’ll be ready when it’s released. You can just unzip the files on your computer and drag them in manually. Also check out kindlemodshelf.me for more resources once you’ve jailbroken, and be sure to check the FAQ.

I assume there is no progress on the 5.18.1-3 jailbreak yet?

You assumed incorrectly. Check out https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/AdBreak

Brilliant, thank you, worked perfectly for me with a couple of stumbles; Turning wifi back on for the ads to download meant it tried to download a newer firmware (mine's on 5.18.1) so I kept turning off wifi and deleting the partial file in the root of the Kindle then re-enabling wifi until I got some ads downloaded and was able to continue with the AdBreak install.

In Windows 11 file manager didn't see the system folder that has the .assets folder in it, so used winscp to do the copy and then ran the .bat file from a command prompt.

Thanks agian! 👍👌

Can we use ad break on 5.18.3?

See kindlemodshelf.me for more info.

It seems that Amazon has released Firmware 5.18.6, We do not know if anything has been patched yet, but as it is with everything regarding modding, DO NOT UPDATE.
