Jailbreak: custom software on stock firmware. This is not Android root.

How-to

How to

Legacy NiLuJe K5 jailbreak (firmware 5.0.0-5.4.4.2, which covers every Kindle Touch release up to the final 5.3.7.3): copy the jailbreak update file to the Kindle root and run Settings > Menu > Update Your Kindle; the ”**** JAILBREAK ****” screen confirms it. Then install MKK, KUAL (KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2) and KOReader (“kindle” package). Modern exploits (WinterBreak, Vera, Nosebleed and others) do not support the Touch.

Follow the specialist sources linked on this page. If this path is a jailbreak, unlock, or flash, the specialist wiki is the how-to — we do not copy those steps here.

Notes

Legacy device: only the NiLuJe jailbreak applies (WinterBreak, Vera, Nosebleed, Sanctuary, AdBreak and other modern exploits do not support it).

Firmware-dependent: check Settings > Device Info for the firmware version before choosing a method; do not update firmware first.
