Hi Fellow Readers.

I have had a kindle Keyboard 2 B002A(sprint ) version for quiet a while now .

I am facing a few obstacles in updating the firmware for the same .
Currently I am at the version 2.0.4 which i believe is the base version it came with.

I am now outside the US and want to update the same to the latest version 2.5.8 so I can use the wireless while traveling .

have tried downloading the firmware to my pc , then connect the kindle over USB and transfer the .bin file into the kindle removable drive root folder.
But once i eject the kindle safely and go to Menu>Settings the Update Your Kindle option is greyed out and never accessible.

Also once I connect the kindle back to the PC , in the removable drive the .bin file has disappeared.

I request anyones help who may have successfully solved the same.

I did a bit of reading on the forums and realised that (correct me if I am wrong) I cannot go directly from 2.0.4 to 2.5.8 ? IS it so?

IS there any other intermediary firmware versions which I need to update to before 2.5.8 ?
