Paperwhite 2 (2013) Japan. Firmware update?

I have a paperwhite 2 from Japan, serial number 905A.

The current firmware version is 5.9.6.1, and no ota updates are offered. but according to https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW, I should have 5.12.2

So I downloaded the update and put it in the root of the kindle. But "Update Your Kindle" remains grayed out.

Any way for me to update, and what am I missing?

Please ignore/delete. I downloaded the .bin and copied it into the kindle again, and the update is happening now. Maybe there was some file corruption or failed download somewhere.
