i dont remember if i wrote here the whole story, so here it goes:
i bought it with 5.8.10.1, which can't be jailbroken as far as i could search the site.
from what i could understand, the best way to proceed was to downgrade. so i went and put in the root the 5.7.4 factory. it updated, but broke the screen, it was all jibberish, garbled, like the resolution was wrong or something. tried all i could find around the forum, nothing worked. went with 5.8.9.1 factory too, screen still garbled. somehow in the process i managed to install the jailbreak, or at least partial, as the pem is still in the right folder. then @knc1 gave me another "hint" to go with a normal image from amazon. which i did, i downloaded latest one, and it did repair the screen problem. but it would've been nice for him to tell me that 5.9.x is another story, for the moment very unbreakable. i would've gone with a 5.8.10 or 11. also now i have this update button greyed out. and i don't think its because there is no update available, because it was normal and i could install any other .bin that i put in the root. now i can't...
i went with the serial because the screen was as it was and nothing i did seemed to make any difference, had also a error code 2 on it lol since the downgrade. forgot to mention that to you.
so a whole lot of adventure. my guess is that 5.8.x has some protection against downgrading. or my pw3 needs some drivers that are not available on earlier versions?
anyway, i'm not flashing (not sure that i could anyway anymore) again a downgrade initial fw, as maybe i wont be able to repair the screen again lol
