PS: It is always a good idea with these devices that have been ignored for a long time to re-install the 'hotfix' package before doing the update.
That will ensure you have the most recent "bridge code".

Hi knc1,
Hope everything is fine.
Not sure if this thread is still alive, I have a PW3 running on 5.8.10 , I did a success jailbreak back in 2017 or so, and it has been working perfect, the kual and all other items. But I failed to update device firmware after 5.8.10 so is now outdated. Amazon has the device correctly registered in my page but says is "not available" for transferring books, so I assume it is due the outdated FW issue.
Following your recommendations above I already updated the jailbreak using the newest "Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.16.N_install.bin", and the next step should be update the FW device.
Current FW available for downloading for the PW3 at the Amazon site is 5.12.3 which I suppose must be the same by wireless update. I've heard somewhere jailbreak should be able to survive any update to most recent FW, but read also that these 5.12.x firmwares are agressive and could wipe out the jailbreak, it sounds confusing to me.
So my specific question, should I update to newest FW ? or should I simply keep my kindle as it is with the outdated but still - partially - working FW. ?
