I am currently running jailbroken 5.12.1 on a KT2. Guess I should be thankful that it (still) works, now that this version of the firmware is proven to be a little difficult.
Had to reinstall the latest bridge, and for a moment, I thought that I had lost my jailbreak and prepared myself for a downgrade.
But I have serial port access, or I would've never attempted that.

Anyhow, to the original poster who wants to update: 5.12.x sucks. Plain and simple. Especially with the new homescreen with the vertical swipe. Idiotic design decision ... I keep instinctively swiping right for the next page ... only that this won't work because it goes down instead, and one has to go up again and tap "Your Library".
And it breaks fake registration (the Kindle would ramp up the CPU trying to communicate with an Amazon server that won't be accessible when you don't have Wi-Fi).
And the titlebar says "Your Kindle" instead of "My Kindle".
Overall, terrible update.
