Sorry for the info overload, but I'm a noob at this kind of thing and don't know what might help people help me (if that's even possible).
Thanks in advance!
I guess I should have done more reading before jailbreaking my Kindle. I JBd it with the express purpose of playing Interactive Fiction on it, and so used Andrew's instructions here:

Though I used the 0.6N jailbreak from the site he linked, as it was the most recent. Not recent enough it seemed.
It worked for a while, but then froze when I logged into wireless. I restarted it, no problem, but KIF didn't work (an error message saying something about there being an incorrect date). I reinstalled the devkeys and KIF worked again, briefly, but my Kindle froze again (I can't remember what I was doing at the time - I think it was just sitting there while I did something else). This time a simple reset didn't help and I had to do the hard reset (15+ seconds holding the 'on' button).
I think this may have been the point where my Kindle updated to 3.1 - it is 3.1 now at any rate.
Tried to play KIF
fail (this time I got an error message about not having the right permissions and to get permission keys from the developer).
Tried to reinstall the devkeys that KIF needed -
fail.
Tried to uninstall 0.6N -
fail
Tried to do any damn thing?
Kindle says No.
I've tried to install Yifan.lu's hack - but this fails too.
Any suggestions or am I stuck with a un-hackable Kindle.
I am using Ubuntu on my computer (if that's relevant, I can log into XP if needed). Is there any way I can fix this? If someone has a copy of the vanilla system (preferably pre 3.1) can I get this from them and install it? Anyone willing to torrent, or send that?
