Prior to reset, the jailbreak allowed me to upgrade to 5.8.8. Had to reset because librarysync was not working only to find that it refuses to downgrade. Copying the .bin file and it will be deleted once ejected from PC, this is even after setting the .bin to 'read only'. Tried also a 'DO_FACTORY_RESTORE' to force downgrade but didn't work either.
How could I have made this clearer?

This is the ONLY TIME you should ever use the Reset menu entry in the lifetime of the device because it wipes out the jail break survival code that is about to be added in step 6 below.
NEVER AGAIN USE THE "Reset" MENU ENTRY. Never, ever, unless you intended to wipe out the jailbreak survival code. Which you really, really, need.
If one of our add-ins does not work, tell us about it, doing a 'reset' will not fix anything.
