We can make a patch or update package that enables 3G, or disables it, as described above.

If you install 3G firmware on a wifi-only kindle, the settings menu "device info" shows 3G even though not present. Not only can we enable 3G if you installed wifi-only firmware in a 3G kindle, but we can also make it "not present" if you flashed 3G firmware to a wifi-only kindle.

The four files mentioned above (including the copies) are the only differences between wifi and 3G, and their file names and contents actually match their function.
