Came here to say this tip rescued a Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen that was seemingly bricked after trying to do a factory reset and getting stuck on the tree screen with a swirly circle. Adding the mentioned file and then rebooting the device allowed the circle to complete and then it returned to the normal out of box experience.
