Hi, is it possible to update eink waveform and if so, then how?

The problem:
I had an european kindle 3 3G with a cracked screen.
I ordered a replacement screen from China and it was installed without a problem.
The replacement screen is almost the same as the one I had.
But the new screen can't show pictures correctly, like it lacks the correct greyscale to do so.
Text and books are ok.

I have tried several factory reset and fw update, but nothing.

So today I started to look up the diag section of my kindle, and here is what I have found.

Under device settings the eink panel id is blank.
There is an option for update eink waveform, but I lack the .wbf file.

Under operator test suit:
panel id: ????_???_??_???
waveform id: V110_000_60_M01
error: waveform not correct for this panel.

The data of my new screen:
ED060SC7(LF)C1
CMN60B4016(C98)
E30406431L4V28094AE
94V-01122

The only mention of proper wavefor that I found was on 4pda in russian, there was a mention of V220_E157_60_WA1206_ED060SC7H3_BTC.wbf but no link for download or how to install it.

So how can I fix the waveform problem?
Where can I get the proper .wbf file or the one mentioned above?
If I got the correct wbf file, how do I install it?
Maybe if I run a full kubrick unbrick process it will fix this problem?
