Hey there, trying to jailbreak my new-to-me KT3 for the first time.

I'm following the information on the wiki, but I'm confused. I factory reset the kindle, and downloaded the initial firmware file, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next.

Am I supposed to reset while the kindle is still attached to the computer and copy the file over immediately after? (I'm not sure how to do this, it says to eject the kindle from the computer, but when I did that it didn't give me back control of my kindle until I unplugged it) Or am I supposed to run through all the set up after resetting and then copy the file over?

I suspect it's the second option...? But it makes me nervous that the wiki doesn't actually say that.
