Last night, I tried to follow these steps for my G090KB Paperwhite 3 running 5.8.1. I turned on Airplane mode, reset to factory defaults, registered the device and copied over the update file (factory_PW3_5.7.4_initial) - the checksum matched on my download.

Well, unfortunately I did not catch that I did not have Airplane mode back on after the reset, and as soon as I ejected the Kindle (but before I had a chance to go to settings to turn it on) I got a "Update error: 4" in the bottom left corner. Then I got the boot screen (boy with tree, no progress bar though) which I reset a few times, then after some research, plugged it into the wall and left it over night .

This morning it was back on the home screen and running 5.8.2.

Does this sound like expected behavior for leaving airplane mode off? In the serial number wiki, it listed PW3W as my model, but I used the factory_PW3 image as there was no PW3W. Was this correct?

Thanks for all you guys do on this forum!
