Ah, so I am just an idiot! Thanks for taking the time to reply; I didn't even know that was even a thing!

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
cheers
