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
Oops, missed the page break, oh well . . . .

Thing you are doing wrong is not reading the directions in the first post of this thread.

Pay particular attention to the content of the first spoiler you see near the top of the first post.

Other than that, if your getting your instructions from a different site, let that other site provide the support.
