Help upgrading PW currently on FW 5.3.8

I have a PW1 (B024) running on FW 5.3.8. It is jailbroken and USBNet is installed. I never installed KUAL on it. I have to type ";un" in the search bar to enable/disable USBNet. I also have something called 'backdoorlock' which prevents silent updates. I don't think I have any other utility installed on it but I am not 100% sure. It still gets ads. Basically I set it up 3 years ago and never felt the need to touch it after that. It took me quite some time right now to figure out how to login via USBNet again.

This firmware has been giving me issues for a while, mostly while browsing the Amazon store. Since I use Calibre a lot, I ignored it for a while, but it's getting increasingly frustrating to always go get my computer just to browse Amazon's library. I never had an issue with Calibre, and if an upgrade will give me problems with that, I'd rather just keep suffering.

I want to upgrade the firmware to a known jailbreakable version, jailbreak it, and then install something like backdoorlock again. I have searched quite a bit but can't figure out what firmware version, how to upgrade, do I format what I have right now, etc? Just a link or two to nudge me in the right direction is all I need. Thanks.
