Question Safe update questions
Hi people! I'm thinking of updating my Jailbroken KPW4 to a newer version, on Open Sesame thread I can see 2 information regarding the use of newer versions, and they refer to "5.12.x" and "5.12.2", so may I assume that FW "5.12.1" is safe to update?

Sorry for any English mistakes.

It seems the OP is missing this piece of info:
"x" means ANY NUMBER. So ".1" is indeed included in ".x" !!!

Maybe variables work differently in other languages?

Lucky thing they abandoned PW2, so jailbreak will last forever!
