I, too, am one of those people who mistook 5.12.2 for 5.12.2.2 and tried unsuccessfully to jailbreak with WatchThis instead of KindleBreak (wish the OpenSesame megathread hadn't archived that).
Now I'm stuck on the demo menu. As WatchThis didn't work, I removed the binaries, but I still can't exit the demo menu, as it comes up with an application error. Trying to do a factory reset, but it complains about the battery being too high. Do I just have to wait a few weeks, and then use KindleBreak? Could we add a PSA to the original post that 5.12.2 IS NOT THE SAME AS 5.12.2.2? I thought the menu had just concatenated a number. |

Resolved! Waiting overnight was enough time for the KT2 on 5.12.2 (not 5.12.2.2) to factory reset, now for KindleBreak. Really glad it didn't brick!

If that doesn't work you can try to put it in the mrpackages folder and run ;log mrpi in the search bar. |

accidentally update to the latest version (5.15.1) got this error when i try to reinstall JB hotfix "Update Error An invalid update file has been loaded on your device" when I disconnect the cable after copying the file to the root folder it gives me that error, and then it deletes the file... and when i try to install something with ;log mrpi i got white screen after the installation and had to hold to power button to restart the device I'm going to turn on airplane mode and wait for the next jailbreak. there are no solutions I already gave up. |

All the firmware files are on Amazon's servers, the problem is they just happily point you to the latest.
To get a specific version, go to the Amazon firmware page. Locate the link for your Kindle model, click on it to start downloading the latest firmware (right now, it's 5.15.1). In your browser's download section/button, right-click on the file as it's downloading and copy the link for it, then stop the download. Open a new tab, paste the link and edit numbers from the firmware version at the end to the firmware version that you want (5.14.1.1, for example) and press Enter to start downloading the file. |

i inherited a kindle kt3 lately and i thought oh boy does amazon suck, but what the heck - i have no idea what im doing, but OP surely does - i will jailbreak it! well, yeah the guide is pretty comprehensive, up until things start to go wrong and you realize you really have no idea what youre doing, so right now im stuck (i think) in like a new installment, but cant even enter ;demo mode, cause of the whatever shipping requirement. it basically says, my battery is charged too much. so what the heck do i do? wait a month so it depletes a bit? and even if this works out somehow, this is just my first question, cause the jailbreak didnt work the first time i tried either (no clue why and dont even ask me how i got unstuck that time). and what does it mean to just create a file and name it this or that anyway? do i just DO_FACTORY_RESTORE.h3m orr?
