To change the firmware on a kindle, you copy a file named update*.bin to the kindle, where * has model and version information. If the kindle likes it, the menu item "update your kindle" is no longer greyed out. If you don't like the term update, complain to amazon.
For years now, if the file version is less than the the running version, the menu item stays grey. So you tell me how you propose to install a lower version, whether you call it up, down, back, or forth.

I thought it was a single version of serial jb for PW1, another one version for PW2, another one for PW3, etc.

Believe it or not, some people try to install PWx files on PWy kindles.
You can install any version over the serial port you want, but the hardware must match. It happens that the different PW hardwares have different model numbers.

Sorry I haven't been able to answer any sooner guys. Really appreciate your quick replies! |
knc1 wrote do not ad-lib, which means do not make up something yourself on the fly if you expect help from here when it does not work.
Do not skip means do not leave out any steps.
The serial port jailbreak threads should point you to the files you need. I have never done a serial port JB, so I do not know the details.
