Isn't there a way to use that initial file to sort of reset the device to factory settings?

You can flash firmware by using the serial port, but you need to open the device and attach wires to some tiny metal pads on the circuit board (usually by soldering them). And that is just the start of possible complications, so you need patience and some degree of skill to do it. That is why jailbreaks that only need a USB connection are preferred.
I am not aware of the power button being a kubrick-compatible magic key (but I have been away from these forums since before the KT2). If you can provide a link to such information, please do so. Thanks.
EDIT: I just noticed you link to knc1's post about firmware downgrades. That looks interesting -- I was not aware of that before. Thanks.
