After updating to 5.4.4.2 FW my Kindle became awful slow to the mere i couldn't use it.
I do not know why but I installed jailbreak then. Everything stayed the same altough apps worked generaly well(except for KOReader which stable release exits to the main menu all the times).

Somewhere I heard that reseting device will help. What I forgot to do is that I need to unninstall jailbreak first with .bin file before doing that. Nevertheless, everything worked perfectely fine and Kindle succefully completed the process. After that my Kindle returned to normal speed.

Everything was great until today. I did not do nothing I just pluged my Kindle to re jailbreak it. I just copied files from zip archive and extracted them to the device.

When I removed USB cable unpleasent suprise welcomed me again. Slugishness. You must understend that I did not attempt to install jailbreak and that I deleted those files from my root menu immidietely. Nth changed everything stayed slowed no where near the speed device had before...

I tried to reset it again... Unfortunately it did not work... Everything was butter smooth previous time I reset it.

What are my next steps? What should I do? Obviously this is cursed FW... Is there any way to downgrade it?
