Im trying to update my kindle software and have a problem. I have previously made changes to the file /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh (a LONG time ago), and cannot find my original version of the file.

Can anyone provide me with a copy of this file please? The md5 of the required version is ec8a3c560209d8c89cd2dd23da25e837

The kindle is a UK Wifi Kindle 3 currently running 3.0.3, but i expect that the file will be the same for most 3.0.x versions.

Alternatly, does anyone know of a way to make the update work without this file being the correct md5?

The update log is giving the following error:

120210:233934 ota_install: I defatchatchinfo="/opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh"atching file
120210:233934 ota_install: C defatchatchinfo="/opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh":checksum failure

You should be able to find a copy in the 3.0.3 update image posted on the Amazon download site.
The Python script in most of the Jailbreak packages can decrypt those images and the archive images that are contained inside (to several depths of nesting as I recall).

After decryption, what you have will be a gzip'd tar archive which your standard tools can handle.
