AFAIK you can't downgrade Kindle firmware, unless Amazon gives you a special downgrade version (maybe only once on the DXG?).
I don't know what you might have otherwise done wrong. |

Double posting.
It is strongly frowned on at this form (and against the site guidelines section 3, see Guidelines link at bottom of every page). If you really feel that you must double post, wait at least more than 21 minutes. Last edited by knc1; 11-06-2019 at 08:02 AM. |
