Is this the known issue?
How can I get the root shell after the firmware upgrade? I have no hacks installed ATM.
The steps in the original post don't work for the majority of Kindles anyway as it relies on special test/diagnostic files to be left on your Kindle by the factory. Any Kindle that has had an update applied will disable it anyway.

If you haven't already hacked your Kindle with something like USB networking or Launchpad prior to installing 3.1 then you can't currently get root access without using the serial port in the side of the Kindle.
