Why not something more recent, such as the system image that was working prior to the update to 5.6.5?
Why the kernel?

You must have some goal your trying to achive that you did not bother to mention.
We could give you better help if we knew what you where trying to accomplish.
hi knc1, thanks for the quick response!
my KP2's serial # is 9017xxxx, so according to the link you provided, the model is this:

B017, 9017 Kindle PaperWhite 2 (2013) WiFi (4GB) (U.S., Intl.) PW2, PW2IL [Support added in KindleTool 1.6.3]

the reason I want to downgrade my KP2, is that I want to use Duokan. I already own a lot of book bought from the online book store of Duokan, so I'd love to install it on my kindle.

The Duokan official site suggests that 5.4.3.2 is the highest version it supports, 5.6.x is definitely not supported. So I tried my best to find closest version, 5.4.0.

I also tried to leave the kernel as it is and flash-program the main image only, but something still went wrong. What should I do?
