I successfully did this with a PW3 Japan "Manga" Edition 32GB Kindle that I purchased with 5.12.2 installed. I did the serial jailbreak and hotfix. I needed to install the Kual Booklet (coplate) and then could install the rescue pack and cowards rescue pack. Followed the rest of the instructions in the first post. Immediately reinstalled the hotfix after downgrading to make sure it was current but I suspect this wasn't necessary.
