First thank you to Branch Delay, NiLuJe, knc1 and eschwartz who are spending a LOT of time helping everyone on this.
Here is what I did for a PW3 (G090 G105 US English) -download the jb.zip and unzip it -move the "jb" file to the root of Kindle -eject kindle; turn off airplane mode -visit "kindlefere.com/jb/" on kindle's experimental browser [NOTE: watch the forum to see if this address is in favor, or another is suggested; or if there is an easy "a" method with a webserver; going to any website is done at your own risk] -follow instructions when the Jailbreak tells you in the notification bar to run ;fc-cache in the search bar - Open the Kindle Search (looking glass Icon on newer touch enabled devices) and simply type in: ;fc-cache followed by enter. -when JB successful shows, go turn on airplane mode -connect to computer and get jailbreak bridge file -put "Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin" in Kindle root -eject kindle; -make sure you're in airplane mode -go to settings and update kindle -connect to computer to next install KUAL Get the KUAL-v2.6.zip archive and unpack. If your device runs on FW 5.x, use the KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file and put it in the Kindle's documents folder. Eject kindle Look for KUAL in the list of books, and click click again on quit. Next is the kual MRpackage installer connect to computer unpack the kual-mrinstaller-1.6.N.zip archive, and COPY the contents to the root folder of kindle. (for me, it asked to replace the extensions folder that KUAL installed) -eject kindle -run KUAL - back to home on kindle Now time for the hacks. For the screensaver hack: -connect to computer copy the Update_linkss_0.24.N_install_pw2_kt2_kv_pw3.bin file into the MRPACKAGES folder on kindle -eject -run kual -click helper -click install MR packages -watch the messages -watch thee reboot -put kindle to sleep -Get kindle screensaver hack page and do a happy dance install screensavers/covers as directed Go forth and enjoy. Thank you Branch Delay, NiLuJe and knc1 for the heavy lifting on the jailbreak; and thanks to Theswonker for the "JB for dummies" steps, and to all others for tips, attempts and finding solutions. and Branch Delay, NiLuJe and knc1 - feel free to use/revise for the "a" webserver and knc1 ip address methods.
