I tried to let complete the process for days with the power cable connected, but nothing append.
I suppose that the update file is corrupted or not fully downloaded, my kindle sometimes freeze itself so maybe it froze during the download.
Can I try anything for repair it?

Thank you in advance for your help
Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Device Info
There is where you will find the serial number.

Use the first 4 (or 6) characters and the table here:

To determine the model nickname used at this site.

Is the device Jail broken with our JB?
Do you have anything on it that can not be discarded?

If no to both -
Then try this:

If you intend to use any of our add-ins, then install our Jailbreak before you do the update.

Try doing the update by side-loading the Amazon posted update package as suggested above.
