Since I had the same problem, and the solution boiled down to changing the very same byte to the very same value as Phikappa's, I suspect there are more of us with the same batch of panels. So I'm going to provide the files.
CAVEAT: The file I provide will only work if your values are EXACTLY the same as provided by Phikappa.
1. First, verify that your values are the same: mount your Kindle, drop an empty ENABLE_DIAGS file in root directory, reboot, press N, press V, see the waveform error message, and see that your
Panel ID is v110_173_60_m06
Waveform ID is v110_000_60_m01
2. If yes, return to main diag menu, press S, press T, plug USB cable in, copy the .wbf file modified per Phikappa's instructions to root, and press Q. Assuming all goes well, it will kind of show an inverted screen and then will update flawlessly.

AHHHH MY HERO. Ordered a new screen from ebay expecting to just be able to swap it out, trashed the broken one ages ago, but on testing the new one quickly found greyscales were screwed. Luckily my panel/waveform IDs matched perfectly to yours, flashed, and it lives once more! \(*o*)/
