I've tried searching the site, but I can't find an answer to this. Apologies if it has been answered already.

I have a Kindle 2nd generation (serial number begins B003) that is running 2.5.8 jailbroken with screensaver hack installed. I had not used the device in a very long time (Nook Color for many years then Nook HD+ currently, but I've been trying to read in bright sunlight recently so I dug the Kindle out). When I charged it up and then tried to sync, I got the message saying there was a problem. Googled and found the issue was an Amazon mandatory update last year.

I've tried to figure out how to make my device work, but not sure if I can just manually apply the Amazon update or not since I'm jailbroken. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
