Just to make it clear for me ..., I am on 3.4 and want to go back to 3.3.
Do I have to go the "long way" via 3.0.2 or is it possible to "simply" flash a 3.3 from here?:
http://pastebin.com/Wdw4L7yT

I have NO own backup.

The extra time is minimal. 20 mins tops. might as well

The total process is hours long in comparison

I would go to 3.0.x and then up to 3.3 as indicated in the post above yours.

Well, what does it do? Any screen changes, LED flashes? Any devices listed on the host machine when connected via USB?
Chances are you made a mistake during flashing (e.g. wrong offset, wrong image etc.) or the battery wore out...

Tried to replicate your failure.

Could not get it to happen.

Is the device actually broken?

The problem at this point is probably a discharged battery.
Or a battery with such low capacity that it can't power the Kindle during this process.
The internal (SoC) code will refuse to run the processor without a good power source.

There are posts (on here somewhere) on how to power the K3 from an external battery.

Just realised one last thing: Is this error due to me doing something bad or is it because the battery is dead
