Cannot register paperwhite 3, registration loops
Hi All
I thougt I would try asking this here as i am stumped I bought an ex demo Kindle Paperwhite Model serial G090 so a Paperwhite 3 generation 7 is that correct? barcode from orange demo box 841667178622 Firmware - 5.6.1.1 Ok so Demo mode is definitely off (I turned it on and then off again to test) WiFi is connecting (I can search google) When I enter my account details and press enter, the menu bar says "verify" for a few seconds then drops back to the register your kindle screen and that's as far as It ever gets troubleshooting I have tried 1) Different Wi-Fi network 2) Checking user account and password are correct 3) factory restore thingie (txt file with out extension in root directory) 4) cursing at the screen any suggestions would be appreciated Also the "Update your Kindle" option in settings is obviously greyed out This may sound like a dumb question but do i perhaps have to update the firmware manually for it to be able to verify? as the current firmware is too old |

A manual download/install of 5.16.2.1.1 could help with that issue. |
