3)after Kindle boot back to homescreen connect it again to your computer with USB cable. Now you copy 5.16.2.bin update file and you don't eject / unmount the Kindle after copying the bin file is done, instead while it is still plugged into your computer you press and hold for 20 seconds the power button on your Kindle, to trigger a forced reboot.

On reboot the update install should trigger and successfully install.

While copying older bin installer file check and make sure there aren't any other bin files in root of the Kindle drive.


At least this is a procedure for other Kindle models, not sure if Scribe using MTP protocol has any influence. On other Kindle models if you eject / unmount the Kindle drive Kindle detects and deleted the older firmware bin. So you need to do that "force reboot via power button" trick in order to stop Kindle from "processing and deleting" the old firmware bin file.
alright,I understand ,I'll following your instruction and try again. thanks.
