The problem is, that on Amazon is only the newest firmware downloadable.
Could someone post firmware 5.0.1 ?, maybe 5.0.0 or 5.0.2, filename is Update_Kindle_5.0.1.bin. Thank you very much.

You can downgrade by flashing (dd) your mmcblk0p1 partition with the 5.0.0 "debricking repair" image from the "Select Boot" thread, and erase the /var/local partition (copy /dev/zero to /dev/mmcblk0p3). Be sure to backup your collections or other valuable information first.
You can downgrade to other versions too if you get partition copies from somebody. If you downgrade from 5.0.4, you should (probably) also flash a copy of the older main linux kernel (which upgraded with the 5.0.4 update).
