I did this, but the first time it didn't work. The second time through I also made a new account and then selected "finish later". At first I thought that it worked, but it's now just an unregistered 5.8.2.1

Edit:
The first day after 5.8.2.1 hit when trying to redo the factory downgrade and jailbreak I got the "unrecognized file, contact amazon." message, but after un-registering and putting on airplane mode I was able to do the factory downgrade and redo my jailbreak using the regular method in the first post while on FW 5.8.2.1
Not sure which thing I did made the device accept the update, but it worked.
