And there are three firmwares -

So first step is to see which model you have: B004, B005, or B009
It's a B009. The motherboard came with the last firmware already installed. Like I said, all I did was add the wireless module, which works. The SIM card was installed in the motherboard (I did try changing it with others).

Now I can take the damn thing apart again, as one of the screws that hold the back on has a stripped head. Superglue the screwdriver to the screw -- the last resort, when the space is very confined -- no room for pliers or cutting a new grove in the screw head. I shouldn't complain -- it works fine, and, with the fake registration hack, I have all my options for reading. I just won't be able to read my NYTimes on it, which is no big deal as I have several Kindle Keyboards which work.
