That's possible, right? I hate the new UI.
The oldest firmware that supports your Kindle hardware (PW5) is that 5.14.0.1 the device came with. You can't and shouldn't try installing an older firmware that doesn't support your device. Don't just assume and do things without first collecting enough information!
You were already lucky that you've been able to recover your PW5 after trying the jailbreak procedure on unsupported & untested firmware version. You probably won't be so lucky if you continue doing stuff to your PW5. And that model is the worst possible Kindle model to debrick.

What is possible and what you can and should do instead is doing that mentioned edit to revert firmware 5.14.1.1 to old UI that older devices had with firmware 5.13.6 and PW5 for whatever reason still had with its factory firmware 5.14.0.1.
