[TL/DR at end]
Serial Number: B011 1407 1492 XXXX
Firmware Version: Kindle 5.3.7.3 (2715280002)
1. Fully charged - complete
2. Factory reset - complete
3. Access storage via USB - complete (could see /documents, /tts, etc.)
4. Copy over the .bin file - **train derailing noise**
If I understand the process correctly, I am supposed to download my downgrade firmware from http://pastebin.com/Wdw4L7yT. On that page I see not 1 but 19 different (or duplicated?) firmwares to choose from. See attached.
- kernel-5.0.0: one link
- kernel-5.0.0: a different link
- mmcblk0p1-5.0.0: yet another link
I have no clue what mmcblk0p1 is all about. This same set of firmware is duplicated for ver 5.1.0, and is duplicated and expanded for version 5.1.2. A whole separate collection of firmware is listed as 'diag with SSH'.
Considering I am trying to downgrade, I choose the first download, kernel-5.0.0, which leaves me with a .dmg file, not a .bin. I am unable to mount the .dmg nor can I extract it.
TL/DR: I seem to have access to K5 5.0.0 firmware is .DMG format, and evidently need .BIN format. |
From your serial number, this is not the jailbreak for you. You have the KT1.
Give me one minute.

It is for the K5.
