Tools Donwgrader 2.0 - simple KUAL addon to donwgrade your Kindle Firmware - Page 3

Jailbroken PW3 on 5.15.1 here.

Downgrader doesn't work here, as it doesn't show up in Kual.

I dropped it inside the extensions folder. Also tried installing the bin file using mrpi, no success.

EDIT:
Yeah, definitely not working here. I even did this:

1. Format internal memory
2. Factory reset
3. Reinstall MRPI
4. Reinstall JB hotfix
5. Reinstall Kual
6. Install Downgrader

It doesn't show up in Kual. Doesn't matter whether I copy it over to extensions or install that bin package using mrpi, or both, it doesn't show up.

I had to use the first version of the downgrader, from the first page of this thread, not the one from Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks. The updated one didn't show up in the KUAL, the old one did. Opened KUAL>Downgrader and selected PW3 and while it was restarting I copied bin file and after it booted up I reapplied the steps (KUAL>Downgrader and selected PW3). It's possible that my first steps weren't necessary, to run the downgrader without the bin file in the root of the Kindle.

FYI, I had the same situation, Jaibroken PW3 (popcorn method) with 5.15.1 FW. Good luck!

Hi,

How do I use this if KUAL is broken?

My kindle is jailbroken but Amazon updated it to 5.15.1.1 so KUAL is broken and I need to downgrade it to use KUAL and KOreader

i have the same problem but with pw3

Is it possible to use the method outlined in the initial post to downgrade from 5.16.2.1.1 to 5.14.1? I recently jailbroke my Kindle using LanguageBreak, and I'd like to have access to the old UI.

I've been successful in downgrading a PW3 to 5.7.4 but that appears to be the floor.

Edit - 5.7.3.1 is the floor.

No way to get PW3 down to 5.6.5 without physical modifications huh?

I've just tried this after a succesful JB. Unfortunately, the kindle appears to be bricked and is stuck on the "Your Kindle is restarting." screen.
