You could maybe try this new downgrade approach, instead of the old diagnostics + using "dd" commands:

If I were you I would still before trying any of the downgrade methods first make sure that I have functional boot to diagnostics and tested SSH connection between Kindle and the computer.

If I were to try using this new method of tricking the Kindle to install older firmware bin I would definitely first do a factory reset while still on newer firmware and then do the downgrade.
