So fess-up -- Just what were you doing (or trying to do) ?
Where, when, what, why, and how?
Was the serial number actually changed?
I.E: What shows in your settings menu?
The tool to unpackage and re-package any of the updates is the KindleTool.

I came across a Kindle PaperWhite v1 on a beach, tried to find the owner locally and via Amazon, without luck. So I thought I might as well use it. Of course Amazon does not let me register so I thought I could change the serial and avoid the blacklist.
I installed the jailbreak and usbnetwork without problem. In Mac Terminal via ssh root@192.168.15.244 and idme -d --serial B023170123760047 I managed a serial change. As you might think no luck with Amazon since the number is a typo... But PW is still working.
Then I foolishly wanted to make a quick cleanup and performed a factory reset.
PW still works i.e. I can still sideload books and read them. However I do not have USB root access nor can I apply any other hacks...
I can live with that however would be nice to have it back.
Hope this sheds some light to my wrongdoings.
