I actually had referred to the Kindle models wiki page which has the official instructions. There it says Kindle Colorsoft firmware as 'LATEST'. And I also saw the jailbreak was updated 3 days ago. I figured that means it's compatible with the latest firmware.

Anyway, now I'm on 5.18.1 and unable to jailbreak.
So, I know I just registered, but I got my Paperwhite 2021 from Woot today. Jailbroke it on 5.17, but saw that 5.18.1 was out, so I figured if I updated it to the most recent now, I could hold off on updates for a bit. Well... I was unable to re-run the hotfix or jailbreak it again.

I WAS, however, able to manually downgrade to 5.14.2 via the instructions here: https://kindlemodding.org/firmware-a...oading-updates

I'm now back on a jailbroken 5.14.2 Paperwhite 2021.
