https://www.ereader-palace.com/downg...n-2016-method/.
Once I was done, I can now see my downgraded FW is 5.8.0 (2976190044) - according to the kindle details.
2. Jailbreak my kindle. https://www.ereader-palace.com/how-t...e-2016-method/
step 12 in these instructions asks me to install KUAL and MRPI but to upgrade FW first. I cannot get it to upgrade my firmware anymore - the option to update your kindle is greyed out and I cannot select it in settings.
I did get a file created on my kindle saying the jailbreak was successful.
3. When I couldn't upgrade my FW back, I just tried to see if CollectionsManager (downloaded from this site) would work. That is where I now get the error message that it is not compatable with this version of FW.
Note: I have not tried to install KUAL and MRPI yet. That might be part of the problem.
Also note: I have not connected back to the internet since starting this process. None of this has been uploaded to Amazon through a sync yet.
S/N of my Kindle: G000 K905...
Does this help?

First question:
Since you got into this situation by following the instructions posted on some other site, why are you not getting your support from that site?
Second question:
I can find no "Step 12" at the link given.
So read the actual instructions (don't try to do them, just familarize yourself with them):

You have all of that handy, in the back of your mind to serve as reference material . . .
Let us see if we can recover your Kindle:
From your post, you are still running the firmware built to be used ONLY on the production line for in-factory testing.
Nothing here has ever been intended to run on anything other than firmware built and released for customer use.
I do not see where you installed the update bridging code (the 'hotfix' package) in your description.
1) go to this post:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=1597
Follow the directions in that post to install the package found inside of the archive attached to that post.
2) Install (create) the 'blocker directory' in the top of visible USB storage:
update.bin.tmp.partial
no other extension, all lower case
3) Down load this Amazon firmware update (the most recent that can still be jailbroken):
https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow..._5.8.7.0.1.bin
Follow the usual Amazon directions for install it.
if your UYK menu selection is grayed out -
STOP - DO NOTHING ELSE
just post what you have done and what the results where of each step right here.
