Check that the files you are trying to install are actually built with support for your device. Download kindletool, run "kindletool extract update_whatever.bin tmp/", and check that your device is listed. If it's not, the software probably is either incompatible, or has not been tested with the PW. You can (at your own risk) try to repack it with "kindletool create ota2 -d pw -C tmp/ update_repacked.bin"

PS: B024 should be standard Kindle Paperwhite Wifi.
