Try this method:

1.enable diagnostics mode

2.enable usbnet

3. connect via putty SSH to kindle

4. login as root (the default password mario may not be valid),
derive it from the serial device with this tool -> http://members.ping.de/~sven/kindle.html
put mnt-in read-only (mntroot ro)

5.exit the diagnostic mode and restart the kindle

6.delete or move the custom screensaver, and leave only one

7.rename it 01N.png

8.restart the kindle, now the update should be successful
