To get to the search "command line" on the main screen: - Set up my wifi router to limit connection speed to 500Kbps (I tried a range from 20 to 300Kbps, that did not work, Kindle considered connection broken)
- Registered Scribe into my acount
- Once it loaded to the main screen with search box, turned on Airplane mode.
- Connected via USB and deleted partial update (somethign like update.bin.partial file). It got to 30MB max in all my tries, so plenty of time to stop it before it fully downloads (total size ~270-320MB)

I don't have success with going to Home screen on a new Kindle Scribe.
I limited the internet speed to 64 KB/s (kiloBytes), but there is non-skippable step where it downloads the firmware file.
I was able to hold power button and restart, then connect to PC and remove the update.bin.tmp.partial file.
Tried multiple times, once I let it go until 95% of the progress bar, then backed off again. The file reached 273 MB, that means it is not 5.16.3, but rather 5.16.4 or 5.16.5.
I also tried to update, it seems like it came with 5.16.2 out of the box. 5.16.2 update file was discarded by Scribe. However, 5.16.2.0.1 worked. I can verify the update in D:/system/version.txt file when I connect it to PC.
But the force-update screen is still there.
I was also able to drop DO_FACTORY_RESTORE file and Scribe did factory reset, each time greeting me with the same language selection screen.
Any ideas?
Am I out of luck?
