Can't leave demo mode

HansKuster · 05-02-2024, 05:45 PM

I wanted to jailbreak (LanguageBreak) my Kindle scribe (11th gen.) and so I entered ";enter_demo".

Now I see only a graphics screen (screen saver?) and as soon as I tap the screen, I can enter the Passcode. And that's it. After I entered the Passcode nothing happens anymore.

I can't access any menu or anything else.

I can't connect the Kindle to the computer to access its filesystem.

I can't even do this swipe gesture (https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=JzuIGbGPpig). Nothing changes on the screen visually , beside prompt to enter the Passcode.

Restarting the Kindle doesn't help either.

How can I leave this mode?

Hi,
I already managed to fix my Kindle:
I entered a wrong Passcode intentionally and the I got the option to factory reset my Kindle.
Le voilà!!!

Now I can retry the Jailbreak.

Well, that's something I would have never figured out. Congratulations!
