I've tried all methods rebooting etc. After pressing power button for 40seconds it's screen backlight lit up for 1-2 seconds and then turned off. That's the only "response" I got. BTW, the LED is working as normal, turning green as I press the button.

My guess is that the boot is broken. And a notable thing is that my KO3 was shipped with firmware version 5.13.7.1.
So my guess is that downgrading to a version lower than shipped with will break the device.
So CONSIDER THIS when you buy a new device and try to downgrade with this guide.



Misc information:
Kindle Oasis 3
5.14.1 jailbroken using WatchThis method
trying to downgrade to 5.13.6
shipped with 5.13.7.1

This is a sad story indeed but maybe the clever people here can help?
I also tried it with a KOA3 after I jailbroke it with the WatchThis method (thank you folks!) and it immediately updated to 5.14.3.0.1.
For me, it simply did not work, the downgrade option never showed up in KUAL.
