I transferred over the tar.gz file (and checked MD5 prior to doing that) to the root of the Kindle (in my case, I:\ drive), safely ejected, typed ";installHtml" (without quotes) and pressed enter. Nothing happens. Checked the documents folder and no new files appeared there.

The version number on yours and the version number on the factory firmware ARE NOT RELEVANT.
You MUST.

Different model, but the reasons are the same:
