I want to let Amazon get fully committed to this 5.8.8(+) firmware version, that is:
All in-stock Kindles have 5.8.8 or newer installed before sale.
Then we will jailbreak it.
And maybe even have some new Kindle models by that time to play with.
Unless I die of old age before that happens.

So there is no access to the login prompt prior to installing the RP? Given the purpose of the diags partition I would have expected something to address things that they didn't build into their menu system. I hoped for a login prompt and soft keyboard support to use it, but perhaps I am an optimist.
I have the RP and CRP installed, so I don't have a virgin diags partition to play with to check myself. Perhaps someone currently stuck at 5.8.8 would be willing to experiment with some guidance from people here. In the worst case they could probably contact support and get the unit replaced if they can't get out of diags mode.
