The page doesn't change, no message pops up about it being in Airplane Mode, the title bar doesn't change to say anything. Does it take a long time to work and I'm just not patient? I've waited until the screen times out and still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.
You downgraded to the factory initial firmware, then you upgraded to 5.6.5?
If so, what you are experiencing has not been reported before.

- - - -

Ensure you have the correct factory initial update package.
Use the first six characters of your device's serial number and this table:

Is it really a KT2?
Whatever it is, you now know for sure.

Now check that you have the matching (by nickname) factory initial install.
If not, get the correct one.

Now install that initial factory firmware (again).
Do not upgrade to 5.6.5 this time.

Now try the newer jb released today, see:

Inside of that archive you will find two files -
Read the readme and do as directed with the other file just as it is inside of the release archive.
I.E: the 'other' file is also an archive - use it as-is according to the directions in the readme, do not un-archive that one.
