So my daughter's kindle keyboard died and she went out and bought a new PW2. It came with 5.4.3.2. I installed the jailbreak for her and got her sleep screens working, but couldn't get the collections manager to work. After a bit of research I found out that she has the 4gb model with a serial number that starts with 9017, so it had a HW/FW combo incompatibility with CM and it was giving that can't open error. Further research showed that I could get it working with an update to 5.4.5 which I did for her and CM worked without nested collections.
Sadly, after all the reading I've done on it everything's kind of swimming around in my head and it's hard to keep it all straight anymore. The issue I'm having now is trying to get nested collections to work because that's really why I go through all of this bother in the first place. From what I'm understanding all FW 5.4.2 and later are unable to handle nested collections because of a change to the homescreen that has something to do with the new cloud collections feature. She won't be using cloud collections anyway. And since none of the newer functions are things she'd really use, I was wondering, before I go through what looks like a much more complicated process than the regular updates, will downgrading to 5.4.0 work for her to reestablish nested collection functionality if she has the 9017 4gb PW2, or is she just screwed?
