So these posts make me think that certificate (the one-time set-up cert) is what is missing.


I can't think of any reason why Amazon would re-cert their system after only ten years, 20..30 years is more normal practice.
And I can't think of why the "Hi Mom, I'm sold" first time certificate would be different for different models. (It might be used differently, but would still be the same cert.)


So I think all we need is some owners of other 3G models to post file name listings of those two directory paths you posted.
Maybe the K3 (keyboard) would still have the "intro" certificate present.


Since we are only looking for the Public certificate, we should be able to post it on the forum when it is found, since, after all, it is Public.
Let see if we can found what file it is and whether it is public domain file. If the registration process of factory reset Kindle of Gen 3 or newer Kindle is still the same then owners of these newer Gen might also able to help.
