I jailbroke my PW3 using the Popcorn hack.

Then I installed all the hotfix, kual and stuff. Then USB network.
I set up the drivers and can ping the kindle's IP just fine.

However, I've looked for a clear, definite writeup on how to SSH into it and they seem to be older. None that I tried worked.

when I do "ssh root@kindle_ip" it says connection refused, and that's it.

Perhaps there's another way to try and solve the issue I'm having. I'm trying to access /etc/version.txt to try and downgrade from this god awful 5.15.1 firmware into something else.

However, the downgrader found in the Snapshots thread doesn't work. I already did several factory resets and reflashed the kindle via SDP mode several times, the same happens, that package doesn't show up in Kual.

The older Downgrader 2.0 package shows up, but when I try to use it with any PW3 firmware it fails with "error 12".

Any ideas on how to downgrade from this firmware?
