IMPORTANT notice to FW >= 5.4.5 users:

This will NOT work on FW >= 5.4.5!
Currently, it does survive an update to 5.4.5 though, provided you've never reset your device to factory defaults, so, if you intend to update to 5.4.5, JailBreak your device first (if it's at all doable for your specific device. KT2 & KV users, you're out of luck for now) . If you're unsure of having ever done a factory reset or a registration switch, and/or you want to make absolutely sure you won't get screwed, install the bridge first (it's the Update_jailbreak_bridge_*_install.bin file in the JailBreak package, see the relevant section in #2 for more details).
If your PW2 shipped on 5.4.5 or newer, all is not lost, you should be able to downgrade to 5.4.3.2 with a bit of trickery.
I'm not sure i getting this point correctly . My Kindle paperwhite 2013 has been done both factory reset and registration switch. And currently its version is 5.4.5.1.
Now i'm planning to jailbreak by following steps:

1. Install the bridge first (it's the Update_jailbreak_bridge_*_install.bin file in the JailBreak package, see the relevant section in #2 for more details).
2. Downgrade to 5.4.3.2
3. Do Jailbreak normally as mentioned in post #1
4. Upgrade to 5.4.5.1 again


Anyone pls help to confirm above steps is correct or not?
I have one ppw2 bricked before and i dont want this one face same issue.
Thanks
