Now I went though the steps listed in the FAQ section and removed any .bin file. It didn't work. So after checking about a dozen times, I decided to just reset my Kindle. That hasn't worked either, it's still grey.

I'm not sure what it could be doing now because I know there isn't anything extra in the root. Maybe this jailbreak isn't compatible with my Kindle but I thought it would be running 5.3.7.

If anyone has some insights, I would appreciate them greatly.
Your description of your Kindle model is contradictory.

But you and we need to know your Kindle model.
Look on the "Device Info" panel in the "Settings" section on your Kindle.

Make note of the first four characters of the serial number, and look up the nickname we use for your model in this table:

Also on the same "Device Info" panel, make a note of what firmware version it is currently running.

Include both pieces of information in your next post please.
