Hello!

I have a Kindle PW4 (10th Generation) that's on version 5.16.4. I want to jailbreak it, but the max version for something like LanguageBreak is 5.16.2. Could I put an old firmware file on the Kindle and do a manual update through the settings, or will this screw stuff up or brick my Kindle? I don't mind if I lose my books as I can back them up beforehand via Calibre.
