  • Selected airplane mode
  • Via USB cable, created folder update.bin.tmp.partial at top visible level
  • From Wiki downloaded factory_KT4_5.11.0_initial
  • Confirmed MD5 checksum
  • Via USB cable copied downloaded .bin file to top visible level
  • Ejected Kindle, unplugged cable

That's when a screen message informed me an invalid update file had been downloaded.
Home > Menu > Settings > Menu > and the "Update your Kindle" option is greyed out

Have I done something wrong? Or is the Kindle firmware blocking the jailbreak?

Your help and advice will be much appreciated. Best wishes for what's left of the holiday season to everyone!
What firmware version is the kindle running now?
