These instructions are specific for PW3 with FW <= 5.9.6.1. Just use the latest versions of the files from snapshots.

Iirc, 5.8.9.2 is weird (UPDATE ERROR: 16 when installing factory fw directly). So for this, you'll need to install customer 5.9.6.1 then factory 5.9.6.1 before running factory jailbreak.

P.S. I've just edited the wiki to make the special cases for PW3 and PW4 more prominent.
So yes it is possible to go from 5.8.9.2 > customer 5.9.6.1 > factory 5.9.6.1 > open sesame generic instructions ( factory jailbreak ) ?

A definitive 'yes or no' would be immensely more helpful than the last three answers I've received.
