I found a link that provided steps for firmware downgrades, though I have not tried it myself (http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4342257744). Since you are already jailbroken, you can start from step 2 and install the rescue pack extension. Reboot your kindle into the diagnostic mode (step 4), and use the USB Bundle Install option to copy the old firmware from your PC to your kindle root directory. The kindle will reboot back into diagnostic mode, and you need to disable diagnostic (using D-D-Q sequence) to return to normal kindle operations. If you encounter the error message “Device_info.xml not found”, click on the Device Setting option within the diagnostic window before redoing the D-D-Q sequence. A collection of various firmwares can be found in http://kindlefere.com/update if required. Good luck, and hope this helps.
