3) Backup /usr/lib/libdtp_module.so, /usr/lib/libdtp_module.so.0, and /usr/lib/libdtp_module.so.0.1 if you want 3G (.so, and .so.0 are links to .so.0.1)
4) Reflash rootfs with the 4.0.1 rootfs using dd. If the FS is larger then the Kindle 3 one, just rsync or cp -a all the files. Remove TTS if you don't have enough space.
5) Restore the files you backed up.
I'm like 99.9% sure this will work for the Kindle 3. Then you can run the updater script I wrote on the Kindle 2 if you want it there too. (With modifications to recognize 4.0.1 of course). If this doesn't work, post the logs. Again, I'd do this if I had the time.

I've done this and it won't work, also, it seems to me that no log gets written anywhere. Where should I check? /var/log is empty. It stays on the "Please wait, your Kindle is starting" page.
edit: Maybe the reason this isn't working is that I copied those over using nautilus as root (under ubuntu). That's also the way I backed up original files and replacing those back is not working. I'm panicking a little. I made a proper backup time ago using sir alex' package:

how do I restore those from recovery please?
