Figured I should cross post here (originally posted in this thread).
Another successful 5.8.11 downgrade + JB here.

My sixty-four-thousand-dollar question
Hi to all,
I followed your discussion about downgrading the PW 3. Where do I get the 5.8.9.0.1 update version? For sure I browsed in the net. Thanks in advance and happy Easter! |

Do you think that a thread with 5.8.9.0.1 in its title might help you? |

Just like to share my experience.
I got a PW3 shipped from the US, to the US. Thereafter my friend brought it to me in Singapore. The device (G090 G105 8XXX) was pre-registed to my Amazon account with firmware 5.8.11. 1) Put in the file to prevent OTA updates before connecting to the internet to request for removal of special offers. 2) Did a reset of the Kindle (not connected to internet) and downgrade to 5.8.9.0.1. 3) Jailbroken with no issues, even did a reset. 4) Upgraded to 5.9.5.1, jailbreak remained. Attempted a reset (to fix the KUAL document not removing issue) and reapplied the hotfix with success. It seems that may have been really lucky with the process but as usual YMMV. |

That said, we don't know if they've blocked this method on 5.9. The last PW3 I bought from Amazon USA (March 2018) still had 5.8.11. |

Sorry, @Machinus, you didn't understand the background correctly: We're talking here about "out-of-the-box" firmwares (i.e. the firmware in brand-new devices). Any OTA or via sideload updated firmwares newer than 5.8.7.0.1 are user firmwares which definitely can not be jailbroken, as they don't allow the installation of the jb'able special factory test build firmwares.

PS: Lab126 finally fixed the problem with not being able to load VV files while running consumer firmware releases. So the first quote above no longer applies. |

Thanks to this thread I decided to be brave (or is it stupid?) and try this on my newly acquired PW3 running 5.8.11
Everything was successful, I am now on fw 5.9.6.1 (3314460001) and jailbreak is still in tact. |

pw3 5.9.5
Hello,
I have bought a refurbished pw3 g1 5.9.5 (stock) with offers. How can I jailbreak? I've copied the 5.7.4 but the UYK options stays grey. |
