winterbreak jailbreak not entering mesquito after airplane mode is disabled
Hello,
I am following the steps on https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/WinterBreak/
Stuck on step 5 (after I click on the shopping cart / store), the kindle does ask for aeroplane mode to be turned off. I click yes. Then it loads and loads for about a minute and the amazon regular store pops up. No signs of mesquito or the loading screen. I have done this multiple times. Some people are reporting that after doing it for 1001 times (clearly an exaggeration u/dooshpastesh) but it has worked for them. This has not really worked for me after attempting it at least 10 times.
I have tried the troubleshooting steps from the same website. Factory reset the kindle, before registering loading the winterbreak files in it (I imagine the root of the storage space is the initial folder you get when you open the kindle on the computer). Log in the account, going into airplane mode, connecting to computer and deleting the active_content...localstorage file, rebooting and openign the store but nothing.
I have also tried the "trick" of connecting it to wifi without an actual connection, also tried using a hotspot, even went as far as interrupting the wifi during the loading processbut the kindle is recalcitrant. It seems like it needs a real connection to even proceed with the step of loading the store (or loading mesquito).
Can someone help?
