I just purchased a Paperwhite 3 with special offers (taking advantage of the $40 glitch). Unfortunately, although I made sure to block OTA updates (using the update.bin.tmp.partial method), I did register my device, so that I would be able to deactivate the special offers (as recommended in the wiki page), not realizing that this potentially ruined my chance at downgrading my device (which is running the 5.8.11 (3243010037) FW that others have had success with downgrading). What should I do from here? Should I just get rid of special offers and wait for a breakthrough for 5.8.11, or is there any hope for a downgrade?
