I am so far unsuccessful in downgrading the firmware. Am I SOL? or am I just missing something. Everything seems geared towards older versions.
USA version - (G090 G1*)
Has received update to 5.9.5.1
Ads are disabled (Paid to Amazon)
Purchased new directly from Amazon.com (new)
All methods listed for PW3 have been attempted:
update_pw3_factory_5.8.9.0.1.bin
update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.8.9.bin
update_PW3_5.7.4_initial.bin
In all cases the Update Kindle selection only briefly flashes black and then grays out. .bin files disappear from root.
Files are in fact placed in the root directory.

After some digging I saw that 5.9.4 is only breakable by Serial method. I'm not opening my new PW3... I'll maybe trade with my daughter and get her PW2 and Jailbreak that one.
