Another successful 5.8.11 downgrade + JB here.
  • Is this a new device, never connected to the Internet? Yes S/N: G090 G105 7
  • Is it a "refurbished" device? No
  • Is this the firmware it arrived with or has it been updated to this version? Stock 5.8.11 (3243010037)
    I copied update_pw3_factory_5.8.9.0.1.bin to root but was wishy-washy and didn't select UYK. I left the device charging, ate a snack and when I came back it was already installing the firmware and all I can do was pray it doesn't brick. When it finally finished rebooting, it had 5.8.9.0.1 (3175970011) installed. Yay!
  • Is it registered? No
  • Does it have ads (Special Offers)? Yes (although I don't believe that particular flag is set OOTB. Probably just upon device registration)
  • Does it have a pass-code protection or parental controls enabled? No
  • What country was it sold in? US
  • What country was it delivered to? US
  • Was the seller an on-line Amazon site or was it a third-party seller (on-line or brick&mortar). Amazon (US)
Another succesful downgrade here with exactly the same scenario except I bought mine from Target (US) instead of directly from amazon.

Thank you @ilovejedd for your help and @knc1 for replying back!
