I have a kpw1 running 5.3.0 and I found the newest version available is 5.6.1.1
I know if I upgrade it to 5.6.1.1 before jailbreak, I'll never be able to downgrade or jailbreak it again unless I use the serial port method.
What if I jailbreak it before upgrading? I found some posts saying jailbroken kpw1 can be downgraded. But I can not find the detailed steps for kwp1.
Anyway, what's new in 5.6.1.1? Is it worthy to upgrade to it?
And is it possible to install another systems such as duokan?
