Help needed: Firmware defective, no amazon-login possible

Hello!

Some two years ago I have acquired a used, "defective" PW2-3G for a small price.

The "defect" is that the device cannot login to amazon.

After entering the credentials it tries to connect and says

Unable to connect
There was an error while registering your kindle. Please try again later.


It's possible to use the device-internet-browser to create a new amazon-account, but it's impossible to login to this account afterwards.

Amazon-Support was really nice and tried for several days to help me overcome that, asking me to create several logfiles and sending me several patchfiles in return, but finally they gave up.

Is there any way to rewrite the COMPLETE firmware incl. all initial parameters, to really really bring a Kindle PW2-3G to a REAL out-of-box-state?

I have just downgraded the device to 5.4.3.2 and successfully installed the Jailbreak, so I decided to give the problem another try, asking here for help.
It's not crucial, I am using Calibre to organize my ebooks, but there are some account-dependant functions I would like to use (wikipedia, dictionaries, etc.)
