Also, does it matter that I'm using a a B003 kindle, in regards to the file you gave me and the location of where it should be.
Probably a good idea to extract the file from a B003 kindle update, but I suspect it is the same as in the B002.

However, what is most important is that it match whatever the patch file expects.

And like I said, kindletool should also extract the internal update*.bin files (but you need B003 versions). Probably delete all the files off your kindle you see inside the "update-adds.tar.gz" file, then (try to) install the last internal update again (the one with the update-adds.tar.gz file in it). If that does not work, you may need to manually follow steps in the update script files (i.e. manually installing the binary patch files JUST for the "update-adds" files).

In any case, it would be a good idea to make a backup copy of your partitions NOW before making any changes....
