You'll have to hold the paperclip down the entire time during the boot process while plugged into a computer.
You'll know it entered SDP because the screen will display the same screen as it was before rebooting.
If you have trouble shorting CR501 (shown in red) and TP1706 (shown in green) like I did, try CR501 (shown in red) and TP508 (shown in blue). That's what worked for me.
Also, make sure your kindle is charged quite a bit. That also caused a problem for me.
Keep at it, I almost gave up a few times, but you'll get it eventually.
