Question Help jailbreaking PW2

Hi all,

I have a Paperweight 2 (2013) AKA:
Serial Number: 905A 2201 4223 0KKG
Firmware version: Kindle 5.8.9 (3164600017)

I have tried following this forum and http://lifehacker.com/how-to-jailbre...dle-1783864074
But get stuck at the first hurdle.
I understand I need to downgrade my firmware but when I transfer the .bin file to my kindle, unmount it and try to "update" it the update selection is grayed out. When I reconnect to my computer the .bin file is missing.
What am I doing wrong?
Can I jailbreak from this version of firmware?
I'm confused right now, not that that is difficult to do
Any pointers greatly appreciated

Regards
Clive
