(Do read through the original, manual thread, though).
Hi NiLuJe,

I did the following steps:

- Reinstalled JailBreak-1.16.N-FW-5.x-hotfix
- Replaced my existing KUAL (which was giving "Application Error") with the latest available KUAL from snapshots thread. Verified that KUAL now installed correctly.
- Installed the Downgrader KUAL extension and then copied the 5.11.2 firmware onto the Kindle. Unfortunately I got an error "This Update is not valid" and the KUAL extension did not seem to work.

When I checked the Kindlebreak post, it mentions that 5.12.2.2 is not supported by that version. However, given that KUAL is working I assuming that my JB is still valid?

Do I need to replace the JB now since I'm on 5.12.2.2 in order to be able to downgrade firmware?
