Here's the root of our misunderstanding: what you're (rightly) calling "register", is what I previously phrased as "logging in". Based on your response to my initial post, I thought that registering before downgrade would lead to an unmountable device. Hence my avoidance.

Now you have a bootloop because of (2) and it will not export USB storage until you log in because of (1), which is a bit hard to do while it is bootlooping.

Welcome to the world of serial port debricking.
I see now that when you said "logged in", you referred to unlocking a password-protected device, rather than logging into an Amazon account. I hope this clears things up.

Thanks again for your help; I imagine you're tired of hearing from me, so I'll be off.
