Once that's done, you should follow the instuctions in the thread that I linked in my earlier post. You can download a copy of the original KT2 firmware from one of the mirrors here - the file that you're after is factory_KT2_5.6.0_initial.bin.

Thank you katadelos, much appreciated. I successfully installed the Cowards' Rescue Pack (using KUAL Helper ->Install MR Packages).

However on the link you sent me that lists the original KT2 firmware, when I click on the "factory_KT2_5.6.0_initial.bin" link, there is no download mirror, it just goes to DuckDuckGo and enters "factory_KT2_5.6.0_initial.bin" as a search input and gives various search results.

Also, the instructions on that link mention extracting the contents of the .bin file using kindletool. I downloaded and tried to run kindletool on my PC, but it didn't work (I have 32-bit Windows 10, in case that might have something to do with it?).

Before that it also says "it would be a good idea to also install the USBNetwork hack (also available in NiLuJe's snapshots thread), setup ssh access (the process is described in the wiki) and try to connect to the Kindle; I used PuTTY on a Windows PC." Is it necessary to do this as well?

Very much hoping this downgrade will be possible, hoping for your help, thanks again
