Paperwhite 5th generation firmware is stuck on 5.4.4.2. It downloads 5.6.1.1 but it doesn't install. It's been like this for years, left it in airplane mode and deleted the update bin so it wouldn't constantly try tioinstall the update. It was working fine but recently it got deregistered and now it fails to register with the WiFi connected. Books can only be loaded by USB now.
I've tried manually updating and attempted downgrading the firmware but nothing works. The first 4 of serial number is B01C.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
