I followed the instructions but I do NOT get the 'Update Your Kindle' option in the settings menu... it is grayed out...

The model is D009xx (all the models listed on the jailbreak faq start with 'B')

Firmware is : 3.0.2


I'm in Canada...

Also, would it matter if I jailbreaked it before/after I register?

Help!

Thanks!

A glance at my post count will reveal me to be new at this, but I think I can answer your questions.

The ID number at which you should be looking is your serial number, not the model number. This can be found in the settings page.

Once you've found that, make sure that you're using the correct jailbreak file. As far as I understand, the update option will not be available if the firmware update file is the wrong one for the device.

Good luck!
