Hi there everyone!
I think I have "fubar"ed my Kindle Gen 8. Here is what I have done. I was on FW 5.8.9... I downgraded so that I could jail break it. Downgrade was only to 5.8.0 but it worked fine and I am now Jail Broken. I then tried to install the Collections Manager file from this post and it says of course that I am running 5.8.0 which is not supported by this version of Collections Manager.

I saw in a post a little ways back, that someone got it working in 5.8.9 using a patch provided. I was very excited! I am not a developer and I am not sure how to apply the patch to get this working, but I have hope now. However...

Even if I wanted to get it working, I am no longer able to update my kindle. I tried to put the higher version of the FW back in the root folder, but my "update your kindle" is now greyed out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get out of this mess I created? I just wanted to be able to import my collections from Calibre onto my kindle. Seemed so simple at the time.
