I re-read this entire thread and did not see any reports about 5.4.5.
I don't own a PW-2, so I can't try it myself ('it' being the fake registration, the IPTables entries **should** still do the blocking intended).
Hmm....
I am pretty sure that 5.4.5 is new enough that it was shipped as a complete image.
You will have to do the downgrade 'by hand' - since the 5.6 series is protected from "downgrade attacks" (Lab126's phrase for it).
You will have to take the Amazon image apart (with KindleTool) to get at the files that need to be transferred.
That is, unless we have a 5.4.5 image (set) posted for the purpose of de-bricking.
It would be best to check the 'manual' de-bricking threads about that before trying to DIY.
Once you have the image files in the form needed for the eMMC partition -
Then as mentioned above, you will have to boot into Diags and dd the image file into place.
Same directions as for putting the 'Main' de-bricking image on the Kindle that you can find in our older, 'manual' de-bricking threads.

A PW2 running firmware 5.6.x must be treated the same as a bricked Kindle (say thank you, Amazon).
