Thank you so much ixtab for your help. My Kindle 5 has 3g again! I didn't know about it being the Kindle 5, for some reason I thought it was still the Kindle 4 but with Touch interface. I guess my confusion started when I was dealing with the Kindle 4 and it was referred everywhere as the Kindle 4 NT. Why refer to it as the NT version when by definition the 4 is non touch while the touch version is not 4 but 5! Well I'll leave that battle for another day.

I did modify the code that you so generously provided but only slightly. I used...

Code:

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc/
cd /mnt/mmc/
sed -i -e 's/^0$/1/' ./etc/kdb.src/yoshi/system/daemon/cmd/interfaces/interface2/hw_present
sed -i -e 's/^1$/0/' ./etc/kdb.src/yoshi/system/daemon/cmd/interfaces/interface2/force_down

As you can see it is still mainly your code, I just incorporated the information that you provided to me on post #2 on this thread. I could've used /mnt/mmc/etc/ as you suggested instead of using ./etc oh well.

As for my Kindle 4. It is a wifi only version. As I understand it the 3g versions are a dying breed. Sorry. Wish I could've helped after your monumental efforts in helping me out.

BTW, I wrote the code out on this thread as I used it to get 3g back just in case someone else had this problem and wanted to use it without trying to figure out what/how it was done. As you'd mentioned, the next iteration of Kubrick should make this thread obsolete.
