I was able to glean that it might require using the serial port instead of (or in combination with) the USB port, due to it being a sort of "pre-K3" model.

I know my way around rooting devices (Kindle K3, touchpad, android phones, etc.) and I'm not afraid of the command-line (though I don't like it either). Is it possible to un-Demo a Kindle DX? Will I be able to handle the project?

The price is almost too good to pass up, and I don't mind putting in some time if there's hope of getting it working...
You need to copy a firmware image from a normal kindle DX to your demo, using the serial port debricking method.

We need to discover how to get it into USB downloader mode before we can use the simple debricking method (flashing over USB).
