Try 5.16.2.1 or 5.16.2.1.1, but not anything higher than that.

It appears amazon does not allow downloading any upgrades below current (15.6.5).
The website returns the following error: ``` This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. <Error> <Code>AccessDenied</Code> <Message>Access Denied</Message> <RequestId>E43HHJ0B7TF2TJCB</RequestId> <HostId>Kp6eoI+6gIFmA9rXOeQzScp1O+oVN0LwfisL+rvnGB cWTmvaDjOMT2b8MDjhUYLzgtUrlUeEdB0=</HostId> </Error> ``` I was able to find the update here |

However being signed doesn't mean much. Indeed being able to install ANY version lower than current installed FW needs a jailbreak currently. Edit: I have the following all for PW3, except noted. update_kindle_5.6.1.bin Update_kindle_2.5.8_B009.bin (DXG int) Update_kindle_3.4.1_3.4.2_B008.bin (K3) update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.9.7.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.10.1.1.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.10.2.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.10.3.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.11.1.1.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.11.1.1.bin.apri l (There seem to be two versions of 5.11.1.1?) Update_kindle_DXG_2.5.8_B009.bin (DXG int) update_kindle_paperwhite_v2_5.10.3.bin update_voice_kindle_all_new_paperwhite.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.16.2.1.1.bin update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_11th_5.16.5.bin The K3 needs other versions first if it's too old FW, but upgrades to azw3 instead of mobi only. The DXG FW sadly adds nothing useful. I'm guessing the direct links to prior versions are gone and only worked if you on a lower version or jailbroken So now this is all there is? https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW I trust me more than I trust Amazon and if these NOT legitimate, but install I'd deserve a medal etc. Edit 2: Actually I have some for Pw1, PW2 PW1: update_kindle_5.4.4.2 and update_kindle_5.6.1.1 PW2: update_kindle_paperwhite_v2_5.6.1.bin Actually it seems like PW1 & PW2 use the same FW.

This selection of FW for ancients is still working
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...2BED2975384B60 Basically if buying S/H so as to register and use Download and transfer these models are POINTLESS. No azw3, only mobi/prc and even the DX/DXG are pretty useless for PDF Quote:

Note the PW1 has a cruelly small amount of storage. Last edited by Quoth; 12-10-2023 at 03:23 PM. |

But posting an MD or SHA or whatever hash for the firmwares you have would be a service. |

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW It never had an MD or SHA or whatever hash? All I can offer is the file as originally downloaded with possibly the date last modified (I think Linux ext4 preserves a creation date, but file browser doesn't show it). I've variously used Windows & Linux servers and workstations. update_kindle_5.6.1.bin for PW3 is Nov 2014 update_kindle_5.4.4.2.bin for PW1 is Nov 2014 update_kindle_5.6.1.1.bin for PW1 is Aug 2015 update_kindle_paperwhite_v2_5.6.1.bin for Pw2 is Nov 2014 I might have first got a PW1 in 2013? I did get the DXG maybe after PW2 or PW3 when it was on special offer. I bought the last PW3 just after the PW4 came out as it was still available and I thought the PW4 I was shown was poorer than my wife's PW3, but I had a Kobo already. I was given the K3 by the PW4 owner so the FW download date for it was the much later April 2019 Update_kindle_3.4.1_3.4.2_B008.bin Certainly i'd have renamed some files when accepting download. Only download for the DXG (B009) I see is the current one on Amazon, but it was August 2016. Likely not long after it was bought, though I might have bought it in April 2014. Sold cheap as obsolete stock by Amazon. Their University program for DX/DXG was a failure. Last edited by Quoth; 12-10-2023 at 07:12 PM. |

@mergen, can you provide a link that works to download 5.16.2.1 and 5.16.2.1.1 for PW5 (11th generation PW), please? I could not make it work.
