Simply download and copy the older 5.4.x update bin > copy it to your PW1 and without ejecting from your computer and without disconnecting the USB cable press and hold the power button on your PW1 for 20 seconds or more to force a reboot. On reboot it will start installing the older 5.4.x firmware.

I am having a hard time getting the Kindle to install the update to downgrade from 5.6.1.1 to 5.4.4.2. I download the bin file, put it next to the documents folder, I hold the button for 20 seconds to force a reboot while it is plugged in, and it reboots and doesn't install the update. Any pointers for getting it to pick up the update_kindle_5.4.4.2.bin file?
