It needs to be a valid US address and you can use any worldwide online prepaid creditcard. I just used the address or a zoo I would remember.
rustic lodge
Can I use my Owen credit card or is this unsafe ?
brittle spear
What issue exactly are you having? If you don't know what to use I'd suggest something like I did where you just pick a random address and use a prepaid creditcard
rustic lodge
Sorry for the bother
brittle spear
I don't know anything about safe or not safe, i just got a creditcard off of bunq specifically dor this becaus emy countries creditcards cannot be used in the US haha
don't worry i also asked my fair questions. am having some issues with the kindleforge myself so no worries, we're all here to help each other with the knowledge we (hopefully) have!
rustic lodge
Thank you I’ll explain my problem once more
So I’m at the part where I opt in for the ads right it asks me to add a new adress and and payment I used the card generator used in the video but it asks me to provide a name for the card. But the site doesn’t provide a name when I make up a name the card doesn’t work and it says card doesn’t exists
brittle spear
Ah not sure how that works, sorry! You might wanna look into getting a prepaid one so you can use a name as well. Otherwise the only thing i can think of is adding a '-' or something for the name
rustic lodge
Could you maybe share the place you got a card number with me ? If you are okay with that it seems ive got the billing figured out
pliant narwhal
So your using Adbreak for the jailbreak correct ?
rustic lodge
Yes
I was able to get the ads
Now I’m having trouble with the assets folder
Good gravy im not tech savvy
pliant narwhal
Now I’m having trouble with the assets folder
What OS are you using ?
Mac or Windows
rustic lodge
Windows
pliant narwhal
Cuz you might now have hidden folders enabled
rustic lodge
I can see the folders
I made them visible
I made a copy of assets and I put everything from the jailbreak zip file in the copy
rustic lodge
You double click to unzip right ?
pliant narwhal
You double click to unzip right ?
Nope
Right click the zip file
Then extract
And on the bottom right there should be a extract button press that and it becomes a normal folder
Then inside the folder grab everything and place it into the assets folder you copied
rustic lodge
Extract all right
You are making my night thank you so so so much I was about to break down 🥹
pliant narwhal
Then you can safely delete the zip folder
Then there should be a .bat file
Just run the file
rustic lodge
Okay so I right click on the ad break file and then click extract all ?
pliant narwhal
Okay so I right click on the ad break file and then click extract all ?
Yes
rustic lodge

pliant narwhal
Then I put that unzipped filed into assets copy ?
