Hm, it seems somehow we don't understand each other.

I do not recall asking you to downgrade your firmware, you must have me confused with someone else your working this problem with.

No, you don't asked that. I told it because I wanted to show how I hate that Amazon upgraded my device without asking. So I had to open it up and add a serial port to jailbreak it. And I have the problem that I cannot do with it what I wanted because the wakeup timer does not work.

From what you are doing/posting, you must have the device jailbroken.

I said that also several times in this thread.

Install rescue pack, and optionally, its add-on coward's rescue pack.
Boot into diags.
ssh into diags and manually install a lower version of the firmware if that is what you want to do.
There are several threads around here with the full details of how to install the 'main' system while running the 'diags' system.

I only found that downgrade via "upgrade your Kindle" thing. Maybe I look for one of "several threads" you mentioned.

Or I rip this nice eInk display from the Kindle and attach it to an ESP microncontroller board. Maybe that's easier than friggling around with that fullblown Linux of the kindle for my simple task.

Firmware 5.8.9.2 -
I have no interest in running that version on any of my Kindles, so I will not be able to attempt to duplicate your problem and help you troubleshoot it, if it can be duplicated.

I can understand that, I also have no interest in that, but Amazon forces me. I will never again buy a Kindle.

Sorry, to bother you.

Maybe there are others who trapped in this firmware trap and are interested in finding why it is not working either.
