Make of that what you will .
Hey, sorry, I couldn't get the logs this time. Downgrade was successful. I'll just post my observation without the logs, make of that what you will too. This "If I can't see, I can't believe" doctrine doesn't always bode all that well with me, but I guess that's just a procedure for some guys.

I kept putty running, with the update.bin file in the root directory and as soon as I plugged the mass storage media cable out, yes there was some output in the putty but something unreadable. It was total gibberish, not even any syllables or numbers at all. Anyways, when I plugged the cable back the file was gone. No mention of any file named update.bin or anything about it being deleted in putty.

Only thing I can mention is that, to bergfux's instructions is to keep both the cables plugged in. Assuming as soon as kindle os is able to detect the file it removes it since it's an older update and downgrade's aren't possible. A newer firmware update's file wasn't removed, and again no mention of it in putty except for that gibberish. At least in my case.

Another thing that happened to me was that I had to only put the update file in root directory, with the ttl plugged in as well, as soon as I restarted the kindle, it started the update (downgrade). Maybe because that I have had done all the other steps already so it just kicked in. I didn't have to do anything this time, but again that might just be in my case due to me having done it already. No way to confirm it now anyways. Now, onto the jailbreak as soon as I assemble it back
