III) now on 5.6.1.1 after factory restore, had to copy initial 5.6.1.1 fw again to Kindle and update it (even though it was already on 5.6.1.1).
Now it won't bootloop anymore and I could proceed to jb step (copy required tar.gz file and type ;installHtml)


Also, my notes weren't lost. Don't know where they were stored, or if it's synced, but they're there.
Yes, this would be the proper condensed form of the method I also used to get around my "bricking" PW3.
