U006 error when updating to 4.1.0

[gers1978]

I have 2 x Kindle 4 NT's, and both have the non-jailbreak screensaver hack installed.

Neither will update to 4.1.0 (error U006 at stage 2)

I have a friend with a non-hacked K4 NT, and the same update worked fine.

Any ideas?

Never mind, it seems if I run RUNME_restore from here:

and then update, it works.

That post is now indexed as: K4 -> Screensaver -> Fix update error.
And: K4 -> Update failures -> "my k4 is broke"

For what it is worth, I was able to fix this issue after months, hours of searching...

If you follow this link: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=206064 it will get you to a Unbrick Live Image, unbrick (even if your device is not bricked), USBNet into it, let the tool runs its course and it will flash a vanilla 4.1.1 onto the kindle (disable the jailbreak option), then you can follow the normal updates.

Finally my kindle is back to its factory rom

It is extremely unlikely that the OP is still interested in an answer nearly four years later. While it is of course good that you were able to fix your device, there was no need to dig up any old threads that happen to deal with update errors -- Kubrick has its own thread for a reason.
