I, too, am one of those people who mistook 5.12.2 for 5.12.2.2 and tried unsuccessfully to jailbreak with WatchThis instead of KindleBreak (wish the OpenSesame megathread hadn't archived that).

Now I'm stuck on the demo menu. As WatchThis didn't work, I removed the binaries, but I still can't exit the demo menu, as it comes up with an application error. Trying to do a factory reset, but it complains about the battery being too high. Do I just have to wait a few weeks, and then use KindleBreak?

Could we add a PSA to the original post that 5.12.2 IS NOT THE SAME AS 5.12.2.2? I thought the menu had just concatenated a number.
