I have tried to get the recovery files to run my kindle through the unbrick method to start from fresh. The problem is I can't download any of them. It seems mediafire wont allow multipart zips to be downloaded anymore. qlob is currently trying to mirror them somewhere else in reply to my post on his
thread. If you could point me in the direction of a recovery image that isn't on mediafire I would be grateful but I think I may just end up waiting for qlob to mirror the files. Once I can get them I can first attempt to restore just the gif files and if that doesn't work I guess i'm in for a long wait while my kindle gets reflashed. Guess this will teach me to back up to more than my netbook(whose hard drive died resulting in me not having my backed up gif files
). Thanks for the idea, if it works should save me 4 hours, I just hope theres not anything else I'm forgetting that could cause the update to fail.
