Hi,

I have a Kindle 3 (WiFi & 3G) which is running software version 3.1 (Jailbroken using yifanlu's method (back when 3.1 was first released), and just now, as my Kindle was sitting idle, a screen came up saying "Your Kindle is Updating".

The progress bar got about a third of the way along and said, "The update has been unsuccessful, Your Kindle is Restarting".

It has now restarted and is working fine. But what I want to know is, what was the update it was trying to install? Can I install it? And can I re-jailbreak it?

The only reason I have Jailbroken it is to use Custom Screensavers.

Thanks in advance!

Stewart

Edit

I have ENABLE_HACK_UPDATES on my Kindle - not sure if that means anything though?
