Can we suggest factory 5.8.9.0.1 to all PW3, even with 5.8.7.0.1 and earlier?

I thought that is what I posted above with the:
"5.7.4 is too old, use 5.8.9.0.1"
It is what I meant, even if I did not actually write that in the post.

Hi, I am new in this forum and not an expert at all.
I hope you can help me jailbreaking my new PW 3 SN G090 KB03...

Firmware 5.8.9.0.1 (it seems to be a kind of special case with special links?)

Thank you!!

I mean the first post of this thread.

The paragraph with "this jailbreak will work on ..." is somewhat misleading. I (and probably other people too ) thought this meant that installing the actual jailbreak (Branch Delay's factory jb) would work on 5.8.7. However, after trying to downgrade my PW3 5.8.10 to 5.8.7 (and failing no matter what) and Googling, I found out that you can't actually downgrade 5.8.10.
It seems to me as though in this thread, "jailbreaking" includes the downgrade to 5.7.4, where on the wiki and other threads in this forum, jailbreaking is just "installing the developer key" (i.e. running ;installHtml).
Please update your post or something to explain that a downgrade from 5.8.7+ doesn't work.

ps: I apologize if I posted in the wrong forum or made some other rookie mistake, I am kind of new to forums...

Putting the first paragraph in both languages: any errors blame google translate as I don't speak German.

No mistakes but if I recall one of the top lines in the first post reads:
This will not work on firmware greater than 5.8.7. Since your firmware is 5.8.10 and 10 is greater than 7, the jailbreak will not work which means you cannot downgrade to 5.8.7.

Let me rephrase, if the firmware your kindle comes with is greater than 5.8.7, quit reading. Your kindle cannot use the jailbreak.
5.8.10 does not allow any changes.

Keine Fehler, aber wenn ich mich an eine der obersten Zeilen im ersten Post erinnere, lautet:
Dies funktioniert nicht bei Firmware größer als 5.8.7. Da Ihre Firmware 5.8.10 und 10 größer als 7 ist, funktioniert der Jailbreak nicht, was bedeutet, dass Sie nicht auf 5.8.7 zurückstufen können.

If the third field of your firmware version number: 5.8.7.0.1 is larger than 7 this jail break will not work on your device.
That means it will not work on: 5.8.8, 5.8.9, 5.8.10, ..., 5.8.99999999.
Please do not even think of asking if this message still means what is written. The message is kept current.

What part of:

Failed in the translation?

Nope.
This is not the forum for the color display (google/linux (Android) OS) based devices.
This it the forum for the grayscale (amazon/linux OS) based devices.

There is a forum for the Amazon Fire devices, backup one level in the directory system.

Use your favorite web search engine to find a copy of the file.
NOTE: search for the actual filename, not the simplified link name you show above.

No. 5.8.10 cannot be jailbroken. That firmware just throws out any files you try to add.
