a) You should set links to the very last firmware version 5.8.7.0.1 that allows downgrading for all touch kindles instead of 5.8.7.
I know that 5.8.7 can be jail broken, I do not know if all builds of 5.8.7.0.1 can be jail broken.

Any user who wants a link to the newer firmware is welcome to type the additional: ".0.1" into the url for 5.8.7

How to download firmware packages from Amazon that are older than current is one of the FGA (frequently given answers).

Say what?
Are you posting that I wasted my time typing the details of step #7 ?
Of course airplane mode prevents updates, but step #7 update blocking is (was) still working as described.
With one disclaimer further into the thread.
