I don't recall the exact details of updating pre-Touch devices.
But I do know that a fully-updated K3 can certainly be jailbroken.

The update is an incremental patch update, so you *should* just be able to sideload the update downloaded from the above link, apply that update (because BackDoorLock does not prevent you from manually choosing to update) and everything will still work.
