MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Firmware Update K3 update 3.0.3 won't install, other updates will

The latest thing I tried is putting all three different updates in the root of the Kindle, at the same time.

Update still isn't available. Interestingly, the Kindle deletes only the correct (B008) .bin file and leaves the others. I find this erasing of update files very odd. After a succesful flash: sure, delete it. But without even pressing "Update My Kindle", this file should be left alone in my opinion.

So indeed, maybe the best is to give Amazon a call - I hope there is some support on this firmware, it is a beta, after all.

In case of succes or at least progress, I'll report back in this thread.

A friend of mine currently has his new Kindle held up in customs, so assuming it, too, comes with 3.0.2 preloaded, I'll be sure to ask him to try 3.0.3 as well, to see what happens.
