Want to upgrade to 5.15.1
I just did a factory reset of my jailbroken Kindle PW3 and loaded the most current firmware bin file (5.15.1) onto the root directory, but still my "Update your Kindle" is still greyed out. Any idea why this might be, or how to upgrade to current firmware some other way? Thanks anyone.....

You still have a last chance to save your JB by doing two restarts (NOT resets) in a row though…

Also, are you sure you have the right bin file? For your Kindle?

Actually when I closed the pw3 and left it alone for awhile it did an automatic update. I just did a "second" restart as you suggested, how will I know if it is still jailbroken? Thanks for the help...
