			I currently have a Kindle PW 11th gen (Sig. Edition) on v. 5.14.2. From my understanding the newest Kindle is NOT jailbreakable, corrrent?

			Somewhere I found a comment saying that there was a way to downgrade the firmware on a jail-broken Paperwhite 4 FW 5.14.1.  Of course, now that I've actually managed to jailbreak it I can't find it again!   Does anyone know how to do this? And before people say why?, etc., etc., I just want to do it!   |

			PW5 -> 5.14.2 -> compatible What more do you want? (marketbabble "generation" meaningless in jailbreak context) |

			Hi guys, i was able to successfully jailbreak my KV. Unfortunately, since then, my frontlight has been turning on and off every couple of minutes without any reason. Can somebody help me? Thanks.

			@Prle, try to turn off "auto brightness"  in kindle Settings menu or in KOreader: tools - more tools - "auto frontlight" turn off

			Not working on PW2 FW5.12.2.1.1.  It stucks on step 9 of jailbreak. I keep getting the "application error", no matter what I do. I've tried the vietnamese video tutorial even, wich is a shorter method, but no luck. I've repeated all the steps, re-checked the folders and files spelling... Nothing seems to work. Any hint? Many thanks in advance. |

			@nesomuse - Just wrong Kindle version. Read the compatible session. For PW2, this jailbreak method support version 5.12.2.2 only (need to be EXACT!) https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...2_5.12.2.2.bin Last edited by tekkasit; 05-16-2022 at 09:40 PM. |

  I thought it was enough matching the first four numbers, no mater the rest. So just updating to the very FW version 5.12.2.2 shoud do the magic... Ok, I'm on it and I'll post the result in order to help people with the same issue. Many thanks! | |
