I don't have a PW-2 nor the initial factory install package for it, but others here do.

So far, all the world's PW-1s running 5.6.1.1 have not been "rescued" yet.

But an interesting note: PW-3s initially shipped with 5.6.1.1 and I have a few sacrificial PW-1s.

This would just be amazing, if it was released.

Could someone test this with Paperwhite 2 2GB? I'd love to put my Paperwhite back to the factory firmware it had shipped with!

Look forward to hear more about this release!

I have Kindle Touch 2 that was successfully JB at 5.6.5, and I then upgraded to version 5.7.2
I absolutely hate the look of it and want to downgrade to 5.6.5

Are the links still available for distribution? Because I've a few KT2's and a Kindle Voyage that I'd really like to downgrade if possible.

do you have the serial port connection installed on any of them?

Because,
we need every single message produced during the process captured to a file from the serial port.

There is not way to downgrade it yet. This topic is about experiment not confirmed way.

Safely archived in several (non-public) places on the Internet.

Starting a petition for the quick test and release of these factory files **will not** speed up the process.
(In fact, it might just piss me off enough to delay the process.)

Is there a chance that this downgrade might work without having to open the Kindle and access the serial port?

That is the objective - a 'drop and go' sort of downgrade.
JB not required.

That would be great. In the meantime I think I hold off updating until the smoke clears out

I will keep gathering up knowledge about it though, I've been off of the dev forums for a while...
