Seems the update_KV_5.5.0_initial.bin packaged with "recovery"(FB02) option, and seemds 5.8.10 requires "recovery2"(FB03). I wonder if the downgrade image repackaged with recovery2 option, then it may work.
Yes it would.
Can you get us a copy of Amazon's private signing key?
OR
How about reverse engineering their 2048bit RSA key pair?
Just add that to KindleTool and we are ready for anything.

We are limited to signing with OUR key pair, we don't have access to Amazon's.
(And the 'jail break' is just adding our public key to the Kindle's key store.)

When Amazon/Lab126 blocked the use of FB02 packages, they also blocked people from installing the VoiceView voices.
The VV voices are also in an FB02 package type.
Professional C.S. developers have a name for that: "Oops".

So expect things to change, sometime, maybe this fall if they intend to introduce any new models. (they would probably roll in fixing their packaging problem with any other changes a new model(s) would require.)

The most recent test results Amazon has published with the 'Top 500' list keepers had their supercomputer ranked 16th in the world.
You can get a free account on their supercomputer (see Amazon EC2).
Although they do charge if you use more than a single core at a time.
I.E: Using a million cores or so IS NOT free.
But if you want to start trying to reverse a 2048bit RSA key pair, that might be the place to start.
