Downgrade Kindle Basic(KT2)

I wanted to jailbreak my Kindle Basic so I followed the instructions in this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877

unfortunately I found out that I couldn't jailbreak my current Kindle firmware so I tried to downgrade it. I downloaded the correct *.bin file and placed it in the root directory of my kindle but the Update Kindle button is grayed out and I found that the file was automaticaly deleted. I tried the method given here:

but I got the following errors

Code:
root@kali:~# cd /media/root/Kindle
root@kali:/media/root/Kindle# ls
documents  system  update  update_zh_$(cd mnt && cd us && sh zh.sh).bin  zh.sh
root@kali:/media/root/Kindle# chmod +x ./zh.sh
root@kali:/media/root/Kindle# ./zh.sh
bash: ./zh.sh: Permission denied
root@kali:/media/root/Kindle# sudo ./zh.sh
sudo: ./zh.sh: command not found
root@kali:/media/root/Kindle# sudo su
root@kali:/media/root/Kindle# ./zh.sh
bash: ./zh.sh: Permission denied
What i can i do to downgrade my kindle and is there any other way of jailbreaking it. the firmware version is 5.8.10
