My first post! With the help of threads on this Forum I successfully downgraded my PW2 to firmware 5.4.0, rooted, installed K5 rescue pack, got collections manager installed. Again, thanks to contributors on the Forum.....

Everything was wonderful, Calibre was perfect, my Kindle Paperwhite 2 was syncing and working perfectly. My collections all sorted.


Then yesterday I wanted to download a book from Amazon. So I turned the wifi on and got the book. I returned to the PW2 a little later and found to my horror that Amazon had pushed the latest update to my device and it was already being installed. There was nothing that I could do to abort the process.

The PW2 now has ver 5.4.3.2 installed. As an e-reader it is working fine. BUT when I plug in a USB cable to my PC, I get the "ding dong" connecting sound, and sometimes in Windows Explorer I do see the Kindle appear as a drive on G:\Kindle. But I cant seem to access the files, also if I leave the Kindle connected to the USB the PW2 periodically flashes the screen and I see the main memory briefly and then it goes back into the USB Drive mode.

Clearly the update has messed things up and I am nervous about what to do to revive what was a perfect setup. So I have a few questions.

1. Could someone with more experience than I, guide me into what the best steps / action is to take. Thank you!

2. Assuming I can get back to a working situation and on ver 5.4.0, is there a foolproof way to stop Amazon upgrading again? (or what I view as a downgrade!).

Thank you.
