Hi

I tried to downgrade my jailbroken PW1 from 5.4.4.2 to 5.4.2 (in order to use certain hacks that do not work well with >5.4.2 firmwares).
I downloaded 5.4.2 firmware on the Amazon web site (went to the PW1 update page, copied the URL of the file, tweaked it and downloaded the file).
I used the two methods provided here. Copied the .bin to the update folder and then updated the firmware.
Each time I got update successful extremely quickly then a longer one and a reboot and the I got UPDATE UNSUCCESSFUL ERROR 11.
After a reboot I checked and saw the device was NOT downgraded.
What an I doing wrong ?

Thanks
