Not the serial number change.

The serial number change only locked you out of the PW1 update_*.bin files (since B023 is a K4).

So just take the KindleTool and in the source, swap the locations of B023 and B024 in the code, re-compile.
If I recall correctly, everything you need is in the KindleTool package.

Then use your modified KindleTool to open the USBnet update_*.bin file for the PW1 and then re-create the package specifying the transposed K4 names.

The device Jailbreak is not in an "update_*.bin" style package, but you may have to do some model number swapping in it just the same.

Take everything from the "NiLuJe's snapshots" thread.
(Including the cross-compiler)

Directions for everything are in the packages and/or in our wiki.

PS: Just changing the serial number is not enough to get Amazon to accept your device.
Thank you for a fast reply,

I figured I have to repack the files with numbers changed... however I used a different approach. I first downgraded to 5.3.5, then applied the .mobi jailbreak and entered diags mode via ENABLE_DIAGS... rest was easy with ssh access.

Even though I managed, it's nice to know someone is there to watch your back in case of trouble.

Off topic maybe - do you know any way I could get "my" kindle registered?
