- 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?
I was away for a few days and when I got back, I realized that I had made an error. I had not disabled the "Block OTA Update" option in KUAL before trying to downgrade. That was the cause of the error.

Once I disabled that option, the downgrader plugin worked perfectly and I was able to downgrade to 5.11.2, allowing me to convert KFX files via the KFX Input plugin.
