The number after the version isn't a serial number. It is a build number and shared by all Kindles with that version firmware installed.

515460094 = 3.0
525120101 = 3.0.1
529960105 = 3.0.2
536720111 = 3.0.3

You said that you've got a 55321xxxx build number? It doesn't correspond to any of the released build numbers which is why it isn't updating since the firmware update will only go from a previous public build. What is the full number?

I've never heard anybody else mention that they've got this firmware though so you should talk to Kindle CS. Just going by the number itself, your build came out after the 3.0.2 that was on the website for a short period of time and also after 3.0.3 that is currently on there? 5321xxxxx would make more sense if so...

Its normal that it is deleting the firmware file.
