Hi, I have a Kindle Paperwhite 3 with firmware 5.9.4 which I Jailbreaked in 2017 (with JailBreak-1.14.N-hotfix) and since then the Kindle has been in Airplane mode.
I would like to update to the newer firmware version 5.14.2, but I have two issues.
- one is that I can't find the archive of older firmwares on Amazon so I can download 5.14.2 for PW3,
- I don't know what steps to take: do the update, then reset the Kindle to factory settings and jailbreak again or can I somehow put the new jailbreak first and then the update so that I don't have to reset the Kindle?
