Did you read the part about downloading with your PC and transferring from the PC to your Kindle over USB cable?
I think I wrote that at least three times in the directions.

Did you open and read the spoiler in Step #7?
You must have, your trying to follow its directions.

Did you notice the sentence about adding an OTA blocking directory name in that same spoiler?

You do not use the source code, you use the numeric string in its file name.

Tell me the device and the firmware version and I will give you a worked example.

What is your native language?
And do you have the time to help translating it into something other than English?
Yes, I know kindle updates OTA. But not something I was thinking about at the time and not something I expected would happen so quickly.

Adding a note about airplane mode was just a suggestion (and not meant to ruffle feathers) - as if anything interrupts a person between step four and steps 5/6, they could end up in the same position I was in.

I did see the OTA blocking note, but since that is in step 7, does not really help/apply while going through steps 4-6. Plus I imagine it would get wiped out anyway with the downgrade in step 4?

I downloaded everything with a PC and then transferred via usb (with the exception of the 5.8.1 bin file which I could not understand how to get by the instructions in step 7 spoiler.

I guess my problem in step 7 was that I couldn't find the download page referenced in step one. I clicked the link in step 3 and saw a bunch of files and figured I was good to go. My bad.

I just managed to find this page with a google search - no idea how you navigate to it via amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200529680

Maybe including the above link in it in step 7 (1), would be of benefit?

Either way, appreciate all the work. I know it is a big job maintaining the code and also writing all these instructions.
