Hello
I was wondering if the downgrader still works with the latest fw versions?
I stupidly let my PW3 update to 5.13.7 and want to go back to 5.11.2 if possible, without going the serial route.
Thanks for all the hard work

@z12: The Downgrader has never supported anything newer than a PW2/KV, so FW version is kind of irrelevant in your case ;p.

Ah sad. I guess there is no other way to downgrade without opening the firmware?
it should technically be possible to just dd the old firmware in place into the root partition and force reboot before kernel has a chance to panic but I've never got hands on with kindle and a lot of things can go wrong this way

To downgrade you need a jailbroken device or a serial port connection

Oh so it's possible to go the dd route.
Thanks for the link. My PW3 is jailbroken of course. I'll try this after the weekend

Can PW 2021 Jailbroken?

There is a Jailbreak listed under 'Packages Targeting the Kindle 5'. Can it be used to Jailbrake the latest Kindle Paperwhite Gen 11 2021?

No, see the stickied jailbreak index thread for actual JB directions.

What's the difference in
* KUAL
* KUAL+
* KUAL (coplate)

(I have a K4, which should I pick?)

I've scrubbed the forums for answers, sorry if it's somewhere!
I'm happy to add it to the Wiki.

Finally, many and massive thanks to this community, especially NiLuJe who seems to be a rare breed of hardcore hacker!

Kual and Kual Coplate are basically the same thing but it's for different devices. Kual is basically the app you use to install the extras - like batterystatus, helper etc). Imagine it like a file browser. Certain devices (like mine, paperwhite) won't recognize Kual but it will install a Kual Coplate.

Kual + is basically Kual but with extra features but you need to install Kual/Kual Coplate before you can access it.

Use this link to figure out which version your kindle can use:

KUAL

Hope that helps.

KUAL+ is just a simple KUAL extension that touches stuff that is pretty KUAL-centric, as opposed to serve another specific purpose.
