Hi and thanks for your help over the years. I have a PW3 (G090 G10...)
A few months back I installed 5.7.4 firmware, jailbreak, and hotfix, updated firmware to 5.8.7, and installed MrPI, kual, and usb network/fonts/python/screensavers hack. Also put empty update.bin.temp.partial in root directory.
I was mostly interested in screensavers cover mode but never got it to work for kfx. Now cover mode doesn't work for any books, battery use seems high, and I'm not getting all my new books from Amazon (seems random).

I'd like to go back to firmware 5.7.4 and start over. Maybe stay at 5.7.4 and see how it works.

Any suggestions? The first step on downgrading to 5.7.4 is push reset. That looks like catch 22. Am I stuck with 5.8.7 (or newer)?
