Why do you need to downgrade?

I think yes, if you are on fw =<5.16.2.1.1. You can JB, then downgrade then JB again using WatchThis. I suppose that is why you want to downgrade?

The fw>5.14.2 has the annoying 'Cloud not available' nag and on 5.14.3.0.1 it would sometimes freeze to a white screen for me while reading. I had to double restart to fix that. Never experienced that on 5.14.2 on my previous PW5 (had a soft brick while tinkering and got a new replacement from Amazon since it was under warranty).

Well, my previous device was also jailbreaked. And I was actively tinkering with it knowing full well that I could get a replacement if anything were to go wrong.

There hasn't been any obvious additions to the lineup during the device's lifecycle, so you *should* be safe, but, yeah, jumping to a version below what it shipped with could still be a concern regardless

I've tried but kindle keeps deleting 5.14.2 update after I copy it to root folder.

In your case I think that means installing 5.16.x where x < 3, then doing the LanguageBreak jailbreak, then downgrade to firmware of choice using the downgrade KUAL extension. |
