Hey guys. I just bought a Paperwhite. I'm into hacking, and I wanna jailbreak this thing. It came with 5.4, so I needed to downgrade. I downloaded 5.3.5 and followed the steps, but its not letting me upgrade the software. The Software button is still grayed out. I drag it into the root folder, and it won't let me upgrade (downgrade) on the kindle. When i plug it back in, the .bin file is gone! Please help, I've tried for a few hours with 5.3.1 and 5.3.5. Still no luck.
