Hello guys,
I have been trying to update my Kindle DXG from 3.2.1 to 3.3 which worked out fine, and now 3.3 to 3.4 to then do 3.4 to 3.4.2.
I need these last few steps because 3.3 can no longer connect with the Amazon store etc. due to the SSL 3.0 thing.
I am however stuck on the following part: I don't know where to get the /etc/fb.modes file from and how to do this patching it bla bla.
The guide is very clear and well written except for this part!
I hope someone can help me
Right now I'm stuck with a useless device since I can't access the Amazon store.

Also MD5 hash of /etc/fb.modes should be changed in "rootfs_md5_list" file from "rootfs_md5_list.tar.gz". There are other ways to fix this problem (e.g. local patching and transfer of the file, see how libwebkit{,gtk} was handled, but I did not know it was possible back then).
