Please update the other guides to include this as a slightly easier, potentially safer method instead of 5.6.5 upgrade/old JB.

I will update my first draft of the downgrade attack post.
The current version was written in a hurry, and has received enough criticism that I would like to take my time with the next version.
Hmm...
(Paraphrased from the read me file with tongue held in-cheek
- Use existing directions to downgrade to the original, factory, firmware install for the specific model.
- Copy the tar-ball included in your attachment to the top level of visible USB storage.
- Disconnect from PC
- In main ('home') screen search bar, enter:
- Then run NiLuJe's updated (today) version of the 'hotfix' package.
- Using an Amazon update package, update to a more recent firmware version if desired.
Note to hackers: There are a lot of neat things installed by the factory firmware install that you might want to play with before 'nuking this install with a more recent, consumer release, firmware version (factory vlc comes to mind for one).
Well, other than the one (intentionally) typo'd command, that does sound a lot simpler.
Thanks a lot for this -
One downgrade + one jailbreak + one 'hotfix' == one jailbroken Kindle.
I think I can write that up without too much help.
Thanks a lot for your quick JB support of the factory images.
And thanks to NiLuJe for a quick response to a 'hotfix' problem.
Plus, of course, thanks to GM for updating our off-site recovery resource index.
