I am stuck with this problem - have a new paperwhite ?version 5 but it 5.14.3.0.1

1/ is there any credence that you can downgrade such a kindle by opening it and loading on a firmware downgrade via usb then disconnect the battery and on rebooting it installs the downgrade automatically ???

I thought I saw a link to this somewhere but cant find it now. Is it even possible to do this via the serial port or is that only for oler kindles also?

thanks - chris.
