I followed the directions in the first post, with a few notes:
* Used 5.7.4 for downgrade, since there were no reliable links for 5.8.9.0.1.
* Used the nomax hotfix.
* Updated to 5.8.11 after the jailbreak, at which point the Kindle required me to re-register with Amazon before use. While it was reset and on 5.7.4, it worked without being registered.
The only huiccup I ran into was forgetting to reset before doing the downgrade, then resetting after the downgrade. ;installHtml didn't do anything. After a second downgrade (really a side-grade, since it was from 5.7.4 to 5.7.4), everything ran as expected.
So for anyone in a similar situation, things look promising! Thanks everyone for all the great work done here.

I think this 5.7.4 downgrade from 5.8.10.1 is a hit and miss. I did one and have the exact same problem as described on post 2975. Anyone have any idea what might be the cause? There is not much setting to set when you turn on the Kindle the first time. Only language and Network setting. I believe I set my to UK if that make a different. I also reseted my PW3 after register before downgrade.
