This is my last attempt to get this working before I pack this up and send it back.
I just bought a used Kindle Keyboard. It came to me with somebody's account still in it, so I (stupidly) reset to factory specs, not thinking that I might need any firmware updates it had received already (don't know if it had or not).
It is at version 3.0.2. From exhaustive reading on the internet I have learned that I cannot register this with my Amazon account until I have at least version 3.1.
However, Amazon's support site, where you would download these updates to install manually, apparently does not have functional update files. 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 are all <1KB files that do not do anything. The 3.4 update is normal size, but I can't go from 3.0.2 to 3.4 apparently.
And there is NO place in the known universe that hosts these files other than Amazon. Everything I have seen is either a shady looking site that tries to get you to download junk software, or places that just link right to the Amazon-hosted files.
After a lengthy chat with customer service they refuse to acknowledge that there might be a problem with their files, and advised me to return it for a refund.
I do not want to return it, as I am 90% sure all I need is a firmware update. And I got this thing at a good price that I am not likely to find again on something with no damage to it.
So, my long-winded question is...does ANYONE out there have a functional Kindle 3.1 B006 (US, 3G + Wifi) update file??
If I can't fix this soon I have no choice but to send it back. I am really wanting to get it to work as it is a gift for my husband who lost his last year. Anyone who can help me will make him (and me, who has stayed up all damn night trying to get this working) very happy.

EDIT: Problem solved by using Kubrick to restore the entire system, followed by Amazon's sole functional update to 3.4.2. Registered successfully at long last. Thank you =)
