Hello, I acquired a Kindle PW3 (G090G1) and was reading these forums about jailbreaking the device. The device was connected to wifi and updated itself to version 5.8.9.2 without any confirmation. Never having used a Kindle before I didn't realize it would do this.

Either way, I'm stuck on version 5.8.9.2 now. Is there a way to downgrade the device? Or is there a jailbreak in development for this version?
I believe manually downgrading by copying a lower version binary was patched in 5.8.8?
