Oh yes indeed, I did try one other hack, the updates-provider one mentioned in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=122000 . Maybe what happens now is the kindle runs the update file, fails/doesn't do anything, exits and then deletes the file? Is there anything the prepare script does that could trigger such a behavior?

EDIT: I found the log file in the documents-directory. Here's a relevant snippet:
Code:
110729:114843 system: I S50updater:def:Applying update /mnt/us/Update_kindle_2.5.8_B009.bin

110729:114859 system: I S50updater:def:Deleting OTA bundle file "/mnt/us/Update_kindle_2.5.8_B009.bin"
Ah yes, and I think the jailbreak is active. There are some lines in the logfile referring to it. I get an error code U007 when trying to go to 2.5.8 now, then the file gets deleted. Ideas?
