Hi Kinkle,

The same happened to my Kindle 3. It was freezing at the tree and when trying to uninstall a hack or upgrade to the Kindle new firmware, I was getting the "update error 3".

After reading NiLuJe's (helpful posts inthie thread) I realized that I overloaded the fonts directory with too many fonts (some were huge more than 2 MB) taking up about a total of 36MB size. I quickly deleted that linkfonts folder and hard rebooted the kindle using the 15 seconds methods and its started fine.

Try this method and lets us know.

Thanks to NiLuJe for spending time on these issues and responding with valuable suggestions.
