Everything else worked fine - random screensavers, i could download, open, and read books, I could connect to the Amazon store and purchase books through 3G. Sleep cover put the device to sleep, and woke it back up. Nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

I contacted Amazon again and they had me search ;311. This allowed me to choose my wireless service. The kindle was connected to "unknown" and gave me the choice to Switch Automatically, connect to AT&T (3G), T-Mobile (3G), or T-Mobile (2G). I could not connect using any options. Amazon considered this an odd failure and agreed to do an exchange. I did another factory reset to eliminate any traces of the jailbreak, and sure enough, 3G came back.

I'll update when I get the new kindle.
PEBCAK.
You are still trying to run everything under the factory Internal Use Only firmware.

The only package designed, built and tested here to run with the IUO firmware is the 'hotfix' package.

Nothing else was or is intended to work under IUO.
It is simply luck if it does.
