Clear?
And be careful about the PW-2, there are 2Gbyte and 4Gbyte models - it makes a difference.
The brief outline (not step-by-step) -
Use KindleTool to unpack the desired Amazon update_*.bin
Bring up Kindle in its 'other' operating system 'diags' (these Kindles are dual-boot systems)
Using ssh or telnet or over serial port - copy the rootfs.img file to /dev/mmcblk0p1
Delete the contents of /var/local
OR
Test NiLuJe's factory initial firmware install package for him (do by PM please).

Thanks! Is there a step-by step guide somewhere?
I have the 2GB model, and it came with 5.4.4.2 I think. I'd like to downgrade to 5.4.5.1, so that should be fine, but I'm quite noob so I would really appreciate if there was a more detailed guidance.
Oh actually, I thought it will be easier and I'll be able to do it without a serial port / manual tinkering if I first jailbroke it.
