I wasn't sure if it was a firmware upgrade that made it ad free, or if was just a registration issue.

The only firmware upgrades deleivered over 3G are for the "3G only" devices.
None of those are going to be getting an upgrade again in our lifetime.
Jailbroken Kindle is not required to remove ads, just pay the fee (if any) and connect to Amazon.
Your batting a perfect game - neither.
You don't need a firmware upgrade to remove the ads after opting out with Amazon.
S.O. program is just an entry in their database and a matching one in your Kindle.
But you do have to let the device connect with Amazon so that Amazon can record your opt-out on the device itself.
Removing ads is not (directly) related to device registration.
It is in-directly - -
It has to be registered so that the "manage my Kindle" page works at the Amazon site for that device.
It is that page that allows you to opt-out of the service.
