A report that might be useful for some people looking to downgrade/jailbreak their paperwhite running 5.8.11: while some people might be lucky, I just bricked a device on 5.8.11 (3243010037) trying to downgrade to 5.7.4 factory. I don't know if I'd have had more success trying the 5.8.9.0.1 image: as I had success in the past with 5.7.4 I decided to stick to this one for this test. It's a shame that I don't remember which (unsupported, > 5.8.7) firmware I had on the other unit I downgraded with no trouble...

My conclusion would be: if you're not ready to have to unbrick your device using the serial port, don't try to downgrade even if it might have worked for some people on the same firmware version.
