How to download specific firmware for Kindle
Hi,
I am new here, so hi everybody!

I was catch in the possibility to make a downgrade after JB. I run 5.12.1 on KOA2. Is it in any way possible?

If yes, how can I download specific firmware for my device?

Cheers and happy reading!

Downgrading is not possible anymore.

After firmware version 5.8.8, the known downgrading method(s) doesn't work anymore.

Can you upgrade to specific versions?

FWIW, I might have found a new method of downgrading devices on current firmwares - will elaborate further either tomorrow or this weekend as I’m pretty knackered from overseeing the jailbreak release today.

I'm hoping there is a chance for a downgrade! I would like to downgrade so I can use the old UI. On the other hand, I just jailbroke with @Katadelos' excellent WatchThis jailbreak, and I've read somewhere that firmware 5.14.1 still has the old UI files on it. Is there a way I can change a file to use that UI?

Oh I can only DREAM of a downgrade since I hate the UI on 5.14.1 so so much!

Weird. I spend significantly longer time in the book reading.

Hi. Sorry for asking, but is there is any chance for downgrading from new firmware?
