But perhaps the 3.0.x kernel (now) has general purpose chip drivers that can be set to any region.

I don't have any idea what happened to the filesystem on mmcblk0p2.
It could be that the device had different sized partitions.
I can't be sure, because I haven't seen a complete capture log of the up(down)grade.

Ah, did you notice that the factory install image successfully downgraded 5.6.5 to 5.5.0?
That file was from our kpool archive server kv section.
And we have similar 'downgrader' packages for the PW3 and KT2.
I'll check my (very) old PW1 (which was a demo all its life) and see if I can get the initial install off of it still.

And there was another interesting thing during the MadMAXXX recovery -
There was an update_*.bin file with only a partial (128 bytes) signature rather than the full (256 bytes) - -
The updater detected the 'short signature' but instead of skipping the install, it only skipped the signature check. Interesting.
