If you don't want to or don't know how to setup SSH connection ( = using USBNetLite hack) your best bets are either using a "RUNME.sh" script or download this "scriptlet" :

Thank you! I also tried manually editing the /etc/version.txt file. I changed the version number to 428976, which is equivalent to the number of the first firmware my Kindle model received, according to this Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=200203720.

I forced the update without unplugging the Kindle from the PC. It starts to update/downgrade, but suddenly stops and displays an error 12. I also tried AllowDowngrade.sh, edited the file to the number 428976, but got the same error 12. Also, I tried taking a chance without editing the AllowDowngrade file, and again got error 12.
