[Help] Need some information

Hello.

I haven't been to the Kindle scene in quite some time. I came here around the time when the K3 was considered the "new" kindle and all sorts of fancy stuff was coming out. That was before Amazon changed it's name to the Kindle Keyboard.

So to prevent me from elaborating, here's a list.

[Kindle Firmware/Model/JB Details]
-Kindle 3 Wi-Fi [Kindle Keyboard]
-Firmware 3.4
-developer.keystore.2012-01-14
-used 0.5.1 k3w to jailbreak
-has usbnetwork .35
-fonts 4.9
-screensavor .23
-Launchpad 0.0.1c

[Homebrew/Community Programs]
-K3CHess 0.1.6b-qt
-Kalculator 0.0.2
-kif-0.5
-KindleNote
-mplayer-0.2.0

Is there anything I should update/is available that I've missed in this past year?

Like a new combined developer keystore maybe?


Thanks!

Yeah, we got one of those now.

The "easy find" directions:
Go to the KUAL sticky thread -
Find the "prerequisites" archive attached to the first post -
That archive has all of the current stuff in it (and is not KUAL specific).

I'm a little behind in the scene so I'm lost what a "KUAL" is. I found the thread you mentioned though. Thanks!

However now I've noticed my Kindle is acting funky.
(Speakers don't work, K3MusicManager and the normal Experimental Music Player won't work, Assistant Text-To-Speech is turning itself on randomly, etc)
I would like to do a true factory restore. (Meaning i wipe EVERYTHING off my kindle) This includes all hacks, files, etc. I basically want a clean install on my K3 keyboard.

How can I do this without bricking my device, and will my registration stay in tact? I'm not worried about data as I have it all backed up.


Edit: The speakers weren't working because my kindle had audio recording on for the past 2 months. No wonder I had no space left. *facepalm*

Starting over with a clean install - sounds like a plan.

Sticky thread: Kubrick
Be certain your K3 has a full charge on the battery - it takes 2 to 3 hours to write the clean system image to the K3.

Kubrick does not touch the part of the storage system that has the device and owner specific information on it.

Nor does it touch the user's USB storage area - If you haven't cleared that of unwanted files, do that first (or after charging).

I realize this is old, but I figured why make a new thread.
Anything new since 2014?
