Firmware Upgrade Error
Hi,
Got my hands on an older kindle so I can jailbreak and use Collections Manager. IT came with 5.6.1.1 software, and I'm trying to update the firmware to use the above JB in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=265675. According to the serial number (B024), I downloaded the first file from (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=995) When I add the 5.6.5 bin file to the root, and eject device, I get the following message: UPDATE ERROR - An invalid update file has been loaded on your device. Please go to www.kindle.com/support to access the Kindle Software Update page or to contact Kindle Customer Service for assistance. Any insight would be most appreciated!!! |

B024 is PW1, 5.6.1.1 is the latest version.

If not, then you need to crack it open, get a serial cable, solder it, and flash manually (debricking). |

Also, the error message is correct. Update files, ours and Amazons, are "Model Locked" - Which is why trying to load a PW2 model update file on a physical PW1 results in the message you have received. (The quote: "Don't do that dummy" message) |

Since you have a PW1, you need to follow the jailbreak instructions in this post:
