So I've gone through the thread, I've read every bit of instruction and the entire change log...

Yet I'm having a small problem.

(btw this is on a Kindle DX US 3G + WiFi ver#: 3.0.3)

I've gotten the Jailbreak zip, and the screensaver zip as the whole point of me reading everything I've read up and to this point is to stop having to see Agatha Christy every time I sleep my kindle...

Here is my problem:

I place the update_jailbreak_0.4.N_dx_install.bin file in the root of my kindle, safely remove my kindle from my OS (XP Pro Corp.) Then I hit Menu / Go to settings / select settings / hit menu again.... At this point I should be able to select "update kindle" and get the magic started.... However it seems that my kindle does not recognize that there is a .bin file there as "Update Kindle" remains greyed out and un-selectable.

At this point I'm at a loss, because everything I've read says I should be rocking some new screensaver images by now... But being I can't get past the initial jailbreak step, I've got no where to turn but to ask for some help.

Also keep in mind that I know how to update, I did it with 3.0.3 so I know it's capable of understanding...


*EDIT:* After re-reading the beginning of this thread I noticed the note about my particular concern.... I'm now going to attempt to install a different .bin file...

*EDIT #2:* Well I had though that when I read what I brought up in my first *EDIT* that I might be a little slow, and had just missed an important part.... Thus leaving me to try the RIGHT .bin file.

I have now tried all 3 DX .bin files just to be sure and all have had the same result. ("Update Kindle" in the settings /menu is greyed out and un-selectable.)

The following files:
update_jailbreak_0.4.N_dx_install.bin (For the Kindle DX US)
update_jailbreak_0.4.N_dxg_install.bin (For the Kindle DX Graphite - which I know I don't have)
update_jailbreak_0.4.N_dxi_install.bin (For the Kindle DX GW )

None of those gave my kindle the ability to "update." And as preforming a "Reboot" update is a bad idea at best... I'm once again at a loss.
