I already tried, without success as expected to downgrade to 5.10.1.3 factory, giving the error.

I'm sorry to ask but there are many threads and many information:

-is it jailbreakable? I suspect it is not.
-is it downgradable? I didn't understand clearly.
-can you do something by serial interface, either downgrade or jailbreak?
-How can i prevent it of upgrading itself? The plan is to maintaint this version in order to see if it is jailbreakable in the future. I wouldn't like to use the airplane mode, as I like to send books using the Wi-Fi ability.
-Does this version auto updates or just the 5.12.x?

Thank you very much!
Based on the very first post of this thread, the only place you need to go ...


-No
-No
-No, at least not yet (this is one of the "Androidized" models)
-Use Airplane mode, then sideload your books over USB (you don't have to like it, just do it that way).
Alternately, with such old firmware as 5.10, use our blocking directory.
Whatever you do, do not let 5.12.anything install (5.11.x should be alright - all previous firmwares are still on the Amazon server).
-Every Kindle model auto updates since the K2 (and maybe since the K1).
