update_reginfo_v0.2a has been worked successfully with me on old firmware (ver 2.1.1) of Kindle DX (B004).

I think manual coping of this XML file called reginfo:

PHP Code:


			
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<response> 

   <user_device_name> My kindle </user_device_name> 

   <global_device_name> name@mail.com </global_device_name> 

   <given_name> My Kindle DX </given_name> 

   <name>My Books</name> 

   <alias>name@mail.com</alias> 

</response>

To: /var/local/java/prefs/reginfo
(after mntroot rw command) will be enough.

But it needs USBNetwork hack with some command-line experience.
