Current status: 3.1+Jailbreak ver 0.1+ss 0.18.

I get U007 when I update my K3wifi with update_jailbreak_0.3_k3w_install.bin.

Do I have to remove manually the jailbreak directory?
Oops, stupid OSX snuck some hidden files (unsigned) into the package. I've updated it and it should work now.

One user suggestion - wouldn't it be possible to do away with the hack enabling file completely? Suppose you would rather check for .bin files in root. If it starts with "Update_kindle_" you switch to Amazon mode, if with something else, you switch to Hack mode. Of course you still need to reboot, but at least you don't need to mess up with empty files. Saying that, your current solution is still pretty cool!
That's a great idea, but a "listener" looking for the update file on constant loop would eat away the battery.
