The first step is a downgrade using special factory images that isn't blocked like standard update_*.bin downgrades.
Is this a recent thing that Amazon allows? Or have these special factory images always been around but not officially endorsed?

This is a thing meant for Amazon's internal use (it's what they use to format the device for production), and it took a while to a) get ahold of those images, and b) figure out how to exploit the factory debug commands.
