Hello everybody,
I am not sure if anybody still reads this thread, but I will try:
I got out my Kindle 4 (no touch, no backlight, black housing). I jailbreaked the kindle a long time ago (only to have some fun via ssh+vnc viewer) and just got it out again for some reading.
I wanted to buy a new book from amazon, and noticed, that I am still on v4.1.1. So I tried to update the Kindle to v4.1.2 via the softwareupdate file from amazon. Sadly the process stops and the Error Code 'U007' is displayed in the bottom, left corner.
I tried different ways to update (different cable, check that the file is not broken, ...) but always received the U007. So I reseted the Kindle but still got the same result. I even jailbreaked the Kindle again (which works). Just for testing I tried to install any other update file (for example the screensaver mod, or the jailbreak uninstall file) but all update files which I start return the Error code 'U007'.
I've read about renaming /etc/uks to prevent updates. Since I was unsure if I ever did that, I logged the contents of /etc to a file via runme.sh while jailbreaking:

But everything looks fine.
Is there anything else I could try?
Thank you very much!
