The '.' characters are field separators, not decimal points.
There is no limit to the size of the integer between any two separators.
5.8.123456789.0.2 is possible.
The version system used by civilians in the USA is based on one standardized for military use.
Amazon is the only organization I know of that uses five fields.
Sane and sober developers only need three.

I followed the guide to downgrade and jailbreak my Kindle Voyage. Now I'm on 5.5 and the jailbreak was successful. Am I still able to upgrade to the latest 5.8.9.2 firmware without losing the jailbreak? Thanks!

Obviously the jb is surviving an upgrade to5.8.9.2. You must install BBB Filter to prevent back door updates that may destroy the jb.(or an OTA Blocker directory)

NEVER PRESS THE RESET BUTTON WHEN ON 5.8.9.2. YOU CANNOT JAILBREAK WITHOUT ACCESS TO THE SERIAL PORT. AS OF NOW THERE IS NO METHOD FOR A SOFTWARE JAILBREAK. NEVER. EVER PRESS RESET .IF YOU REALLY NEED TO THEN POST IT ON MOBILEREAD FORUMS BEFORE A RESET

Please + karma if you found it helpful.

Thank You,
B.Baalaji

But did you read the directions?

What part of:
Quote:
If jailbroken on an earlier firmware version, the jailbreak is known to survive the update to either 5.8.8, 5.8.9 or 5.8.9.2.
Needs to be made more clear?

If the new features in 5.8.9.x aren't really needed, I'd recommend to stay at 5.8.7.0.1 - the last known version that allows a downgrade to the initial factory fw.

Does anyone know if the hardware/serial jailbreak method works with 5.8.8 or higher?

I would have to do a bit of research but that may be the one without the serial port. I know one Kindle doesn't have one.

Well unless there are multiple revisions of the Voyage (I'm not sure about this) then it should work according to this post:
http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=267541

I'm unsure, however, if recent firmware updates (5.8.8 and newer) have prevented jailbreaking even via the serial cable modification route.

It is not version specific.

Nothing can prevent firmware modifications done from the operator's console.
Which is one of the reasons computer rooms have locks on the doors.
(The serial port IS the operator's console.)

You should be able to use the serial port. I was busy right then but didn't want you to take apart your kindle without confirmation that it could be done.
