Would this method work with my device?
Thank you for continually chipping away at this.
No. It is specific to the fw-5.6.5 version.

Download from Amazon the update to 5.6.5 for your device,
install, turn on airplane mode, return here.

For how to get firmware versions older than current from the Amazon download server.
