How I try to perform the update

Resetting is a bit difficult if the Kindle hasn't been registered, I can't use the option that is apparently available in Menu > Settings
The ALT + SHIFT + R option doesn't work either on my DX, it just brings up the search box.

Sooo, I just hold the slider for 15 seconds so the DX reboots.
It then says it is going to perform an update and not to switch of the device.

After a couple of seconds I get a message that the update failed and I get an error code and the advise to press the R 4 button.

After completing the reboot the .bin file has been deleted.

I also tried it with an edited usbnetwork like suggested in the other reply and used kindle_update_tool.py to rebuild the .bin
No luck either with that, exact same results.
