The factory firmware is not some version firmware with a stuff disabled from the factory. And you really should not try to install a version firmware earlier then whatever it was that the device came with.
The kindle specific portions of your post are simply not correct. The terminology specific to this forum may be sub-optimal, but it is what it is for reasons and your muddying of the water is doing harm.
