Stuck on Setup, any jailbreak (present or future) that can bypass this? (even if for

The State of the Device:

It powers on and charges perfectly.

I can connect to Wi-Fi, but it times out sometimes when trying to register.

Eventually, it gives the error: "The information you entered does not match an Amazon account" (even with correct credentials).

What I have tried so far:

Factory Reset: Used the DO_FACTORY_RESTORE file method.

Manual Update: I manually reloaded the software via USB (dragged the .bin file over), so it is unfortunately on the latest/recent firmware.

Hotspot: Tried connecting via mobile hotspot to rule out router issues; same result.

Since I cannot register it (and therefore cannot use standard jailbreaks that require a logged-in account), is there any known way to bypass the WiFi/Registration setup screen on the latest firmware?
