UPDATE: Oops. Figured out why no one tried it before :P. It couldn't work on FW 2.x .
Actually, this was the first jailbreak written for the k2i / 2.3.x firmware. When 2.5 came out, Amazon fixed their otaup script so that it wouldn't remount the root fs as read-write until after the update was un-tarred which is why porcupan figured out to use an existing install script to unpack the tarbomb after the fs was remounted.

Is there anything in the 3.x otaup script that would explain why they moved the remount before the initial unpack again? Or are the guys at lab126 just being nice?
