Hi all,
It looks like my brand new PW3 has been thoroughly borked during the downgrade step. Boot-looping with corrupted graphics, not visible over USB at any point during the process. Here's exactly what I did:
1. Unbox and charge PW3.
2. Downloaded update_PW3_5.6.1.1_initial.bin and associated md5; md5 checksum OK.
3. Log into PW3 in order to access menu.
4. Factory reset.
5. Moved update_PW3_5.6.1.1_initial.bin to root Kindle directory BEFORE logging back in.
6. Logged in, triggered upgrade.
At this point the upgrade seemed to go well, got a success message after the loading bar. However, once it tried to boot the graphics were all messed up and flickering. Boot looped repeatedly, however, I was able to briefly see it over USB. Seeing the earlier similar case, I:
7. Made empty DO_FACTORY_RESET file and transferred it over.
8. Reset 10+ times with same results.
Pic of current state here:

I'm running debian, and have done some mild recovery stuff with android in the past. Please let me know if you have any ideas, or if there's anything else I can do to help.
Thanks,
