My device is Kindle Oasis WiFi, without special offers, model number starts with G0B0GC.
My PC is Macbook Air Mid2012, OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.6. I've downloaded the file using Safari (Version 9.1.3 (11601.7.8)) downloader.
Regarding what I did - I downloaded the file, copied the file in the topmost, visible level of USB storage (alongside of /documents). Safely removed Kindle from the PC. In the search bar, typed ;installHtml and pressed return.
Kindle rebooted but no message appeared.
Should I try once again from the Step 1?
Should I try Step 5 using Parallels Desktop (from Windows)?

That combination is one that tries to be 'user helpful' with a 'safe down load' option -
That is, it opens and 'fixes' the content paths so your system will not be harmed.
The only thing is, the content paths
**MUST** be full paths for the archive to do its job.
Your choices:
Disable the 'safe down loads' option -
or
Open a terminal window on the Mac -
Change to whatever directory you prefer to keep your downloads in -
Use wget to do the downloading (IIRC, wget is pre-installed).
full directions - remember the man(ual) command is your friend (in that terminal or in a web search engine).
If installed, that would be
Code:
wget https://www.mobileread.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=150210&d=1468542166
If wget is not pre-installed on your Mac, try curl instead.
(man curl, man wget to read their directions)
Make sure that however you move that archive to the Kindle for Step #5, do not let anything be overly helpful and overly protective - use whatever will move the file without opening it and making it "safe".
= = = = =
Since you did Step #7 - your Kindle is now running customer firmware.
You can only JB the initial factory firmware - the one they use during production.
So back up to Step #1 and start over.
