original Paperwhite - no sync to Amazon after Jailbreak and downgrade of firmware

Dear forum

I have the original Paperwhite with which I wanted to use my own fonts. For this I downgraded the firmware to a version which still allowed this and also jailbroke it so I could install a hack that prevents automatic upgrade of the firmware.

This works well so far only the device doesn't sync with Amazon any longer. So it's basically a paperweight now.

As I don't remember exactly which things and versions I installed I wonder if I could quickly check common mistakes I might have made before I upgrade the firmware and repeat the whole process again. Contrary to what many people do I did not install a new shell. Just downgraded, jailbroke and installed said hack to keep it downgraded.

Thanks for any tips!

cheers
