IF the device is jail broken, you can boot it in the alternate OS (Kindles are dual-boot) and from there install whatever primary OS version that is available for that model of device.

I can't tell you if your jail break will survive installing an Amazon update package until I have the link to the directions you followed, and the details on any variations you took to those directions.
The question is raised in part because the directions you should have followed do not involve that firmware version.

factory_PW2_5.4.3.2_initial

Use the prior 'universal jailbreak' from this post:

It all worked okay (gave the *Jailbreak* message on-screen). I've yet to install the "Dummy" installation package but I'll complete that before I proceed any further.
