Paperwhite Firmware Reversion
Id like to apologize if I'm creating a duplicate thread, but my "smart" phone won't let me use the Search function.

I have a Paperwhite 2, SN# B0D5, which has been -"updated" to Firmware 5.12.2.1.1 (3720580001). Guess I skipped putting the magic file (update.bin.tmp.partial) on this one.

I downloaded the correct initial firmware, and copied it to the Kindle, but no joy. It seems like as soon as I eject the Kindle, the file is instantly deleted.

Any thoughts, suggestions? I really hate the "new" interface. My others are all running 5.6.1.1 or 5.6.5... except for my original one that JUST died.
Thanks
