Kindle Manual Update FW Binaries
Hi all, I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having a devil of a time trying to search for it on these forums:

I have a PW, and I am able to JB it by downgrading to 5.3.3, and I can keep the JB through updating to 5.6.1.1 manually with the FW bin provided on Amazon's site. However, this currently breaks the ability to use nested collections, as well as a few other hacks that I would like to keep.

Is there a repository of previous updates that can be applied manually, so that I can use the latest FW version which still supports the hacks I use (say, just prior to 5.4.2)?

Thanks for the help.

The repository you are looking for is amazon itself.

Edit the version number in the download URL to be the version that you want.

Lol. Of course. I'm an idiot.

Thank you for saving me from myself, haha.

Also, in case anyone else has this issue, or doesn't know what particular version number to search for on a particular Kindle device, this page has a list of them, along with links (super handy!):

All versions are stored on Amazon servers, just change the version number in the link to the latest version for your device.
