Post Downgrade from 5.14.3 - possible?
My Kindle PW3 (G090) is on 5.14.3. I have access to root via the serial port.
Is there anyway to reload 5.14.2 so that I can use the jailbreak packages that are available.

Thanks for your help!

You have to already be jailbroken to be able to downgrade the firmware.

See this thread for jailbreak via serial port:

You should be able to jailbreak 5.14.3 directly, or install any prior firmware you like.

Do you even read a post before replying?

Thank you both for your replies.
I looked at the readme for the jailbreak file & it says it applies only up to versions 5.13.3, so it appears this will not work for me on 5.14.3.
I had hoped there would be some route to use root access to flash an image of 5.13.3 - or something similar to this. I'll keep searching.
