Issue: After factory reset of brand new Black 7th Gen PW3 (serial G090G1..., FW 5.7.4), device boots directly to WiFi setup menu after language menu. "Upgrade Your Kindle" option cannot be selected until WiFi is set up and device is connected to Amazon account by logging in with email and password.
I don't know if proceeding in this manner would interfere with the downgrade, but I hoped to keep the device as untouched as possible before attempting.
Solution: Manually reboot device from the WiFi screen by holding down the power button, then selecting "Restart". The device will boot into the Home menu without a connected account or WiFi setup.
----------
To clarify: In Step 4, it is not immediately clear how a user that ends up in the WiFi menu at the end of Step 2 might access Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Update Your Kindle. Rebooting is one way to do this without logging in. The rest of the procedure was completed without problems.
If logging in would not affect the process in any way, feel free to disregard this post; however, new Kindle users might benefit from clarity on this point at the very beginning of Step 4, even a simple "Select language, set up WiFi and connect Amazon account if desired, or reboot via the physical power button to skip directly to the Home screen."
