We often do make allowances for people whose native language is not English.
You do not have the part of the world which is your location included in your info box.
You have not mentioned that English is not your native language until very recently in the post order.

Since English is not your native language:
The main index of this forum:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=150
is divided into two main sections, separated by a gray bar.

The threads indexed above the gray bar also have a green tag prefix: "Sticky".
That means those threads will always be found in that top section of the index.

One of those threads includes in its title:
(a.k.a: Where do I start?)
That is an abbreviation for "Also Known As":
It is also known as the "Master Index".

Click to the first post of that link.
Browse the sections in that first post.
Pay specific attention to the ones on the subject of "De-Bricking" the Kindles.

At this site, "Bricked" translates to "no apparent operation" sometimes the same thing as "hung".
In general, it isn't behaving as intended (by Amazon).

Un-Bricking a device almost always include manually installing a 'known good' main operating system.
(The touchscreen Kindles are all dual boot systems.)

If you include the Kindle running an undesired by owner firmware version as bricked, then those manual directions for installing a 'known good' main operating system includes installing an operating system other than the current.

Since around the version 5.2.x firmware version, all Amazon updates include a complete system image.
The spoiler of step #7 of the current jailbreak:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877
contains a list of links to "older than current" firmware images.

The thread: "NiLuJe's snapshots" -
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030
contains the most recent builds of those things which he maintains.
That includes the application: "KindleTool"

KindleTool is the application that can convert an Amazon image file into a compressed archive where common tools can access the contents.
Which you want to do, if you are looking for where to get an older than current firmware kernel and system image.

Near the top of the forum index page you will find a line of buttons and boxes -
The 'Prefix Filter' setting tool.

Set the first drop down box to "tools" and click the last box "Show threads".
That gives you a relatively short (few pages) index list of threads.
That list will always include "NiLuJe's snapshots" thread.

It may include other tools that your will find of interest to your needs.
You should also review the list of things prefixed: "Tutorial" and things prefixed by your device's nickname (PW2).

There is no expectation that a person should read all of the thousands of threads here.

Like finding a specific tree in a forest, nobody needs to examine each and every tree.
That would be foolish.
All they have to do is understand how to follow the established paths and comprehend the established path markers.
