So do that. If you can't install the latest version (from snapshots thread) of hotfix package then you've lost the jailbreak and there is nothing to be done buy wait and see if someone manages to find a new jailbreak exploit that can be used on firmware 5.14.3.x and newer.

As for downgrading firmware: you can't just dump the older firmware bin and expect it to work. Even for a jailbroken Kindle. Like the first post of this thread instructs you in order to be able to install older firmware bin package you first need to edit the build number to trick the install system that you're updating not downgrading the firmware.

In order to be able to do that edit you need either functional KUAL to use that "downgrader 2.0" KUAL extension or SSH connection (via USBNetworking hack) to edit the file manually. Only then you are ready to use 5.14.2 bin, 5.14.1(.1) bin or whatever exact older firmware you want to install.
Thanks a a lot. That did help some. I was able to install the K5 JailBreak Hotfix from the snapshot page no problem. But as soon as I copy the Update_KUALBooklet_hotfix_e3deabf_install.bin over it deletes it along with the .bin file from the mrpackages directory. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

As I was able to install K5 JailBreak Hotfix, does that mean I still have the JB?
