When zeroing /dev/mmcblk0p1 on an SO kindle, it becomes a non-SO kindle until you connect to the net and it receives ads from amazon. On one of my kindles, it did not get ads even with wifi on until I connected to the amazon store two days later. You could try accessing the amazon store to see if your special offers go away...

If that does not work, try deregistering and reregistering it. The SO status for your device should be stored in your amazon account...
