Download 5.4.4.2 firmware: https://s3.amazonaws.com/G7G_Firmwar...le_5.4.4.2.bin

Downgrading is done by forcing reboot using power button and without disconnecting from your computer, not using Update Your Kindle UI option.

Download the firmware on couple of different devices and check / compare the file checksum on each. Also check the file extension and make sure stupid browser didn't change it from ".bin" to something else which some of browser do.
