Now Amazon is requiring a software update, or you won't be able to use it for books anymore. However, no update, wireless or manually applied, will work. At all.

I tried the Kubrick method, thinking that it would install 4.1.1 after I flashed the device, but no luck. It only gave me the option to jailbreak it.

It's back to working the way it was before Kubrick, but I really have no idea where to go from here. I've spent endless hours googling and researching and have come up empty. Since I didn't remove the ads, I don't know how it was done.

Does anyone have a clue about how to get the stock ROM installed back on this thing so I can upgrade?
Please change your info block, this is a K4 device.
Failure to change your info block, may very well lead to poor (or just dead wrong) answers to your questions.

'stock ROM installed' - Kubrick did that for you.

The K4 uses the incremental version updates rather than full images.
You must follow the directions and do the updates in order:
