Anyway it came with firmware 5.13.5 installed but since my S/N prefix matched the tested ones here thought i'd be able to downgrade my firmware to a jailbreakable version and go from there. Unfortunately, none of the versions I tested out using the download link had any luck. Whenever I pulled my Kindle out from the USB (after placing legacy firmware in root directory) I'd get an Error pop up with the Update your kindle option grayed out. Is there anyway around this?

Thanks
I don't know how you got the idea that being on a list of all known kindle models means the firmware can be downgraded. The only current kindles that can be downgraded are older Paperwhite 4's.

By the way, are you sure yours came with 5.13.5 out of the box and didn't silently upgrade on you? If so, that means that new in box unjailbreakable kindles are now out in the wild.
