Lightbulb Downgrading
Hi everyone.

I just got my Kindle so I'm a noob, and I needed these days to look for a way to downgrade its FW. I may have not looked properly, but I'm not new on the Internet and know how to look for something, and the informations seem to be buried here and there. I eventually found the answer, but I feel like this forum lacks a thread with clear instructions/links, hence this one. I hope it will be useful! Otherwise feel free to delete it

Where to download .bin packages: on [Link to copyright material deleted] (from 5.4.2 to 5.4.5.1).

How to downgrade: check this post by dsmid.

renew, out!

My bad, sorry, I didn't know.
Where could we find authorized copies, then?
