Here is the step:
1.delete the file just like 'update.bin.tmp.partial' or 'update.bin' at the root of the Kindle
2.Copy the file 'update.bin.tmp.partial' to the root of the Kindle.

I have try it!
It is going well!
You can get the file 'update.bin.tmp.partial' from the Attachment.
The firmware 5.6.x series can over-ride this protection!!

Ah, let me see if I understand what you are doing:

1) Remove any FILE named 'update.bin.tmp.partial' in the root of the visible USB storage area.

2) Create a DIRECTORY of the same name: 'update.bin.tmp.partial' in the root of the visible USB storage area.

Your presumption being that the update download continuation code can not recover from that change (since to remove a directory under *nix is a different command than to remove a file).

Is the above a correct description?

PS: Use of proprietary compressed archives is discourage here. Please post as either zip or tar/gzip in the attachments.
