Clicking register wants you to setup wifi, but that could lead to an unfortunate update.

I am curious how to upgrade to 5.6.5 without a setup menu, so I can install the 5.6.5 jailbreak. There must be some way to bypass registration...

Ideas? Or does it automagically recognize update files when in this rather "brain dead" unregistered mode? I will try...
Put the update on the USB root, re-boot it (or wait for it to self-reboot in your case ).

That will get you 5.6.5 and **maybe** over-write whatever is so wonky (tm) about the current firmware installed. **maybe**.

Now jailbreaking it - ah, there you will have to be able to reach the Kindle's browser - -
But....
Maybe the update will have fixed that ...
