Hello, I have a Kindle Keyboard B008 Wifi and just recently tried to jailbreak it to install custom screensavers. The problem is that I upload the file to jailbreak this version (update_jailbreak_0.6.N_k3w_install.bin) and then, when I go to update

[HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Update Your Kindle.

the "update your kindle" is disabled. I restart at this point, and I get a message that I don't remeber at the moment, something like "It didn't work".

I tried a few things, I updated the firmware (now is the version 3.4.3 that I suppose is the last one), reset to factory defaults, and tried again. Same thing.

Any ideas?
