Necro-posting, as I'm having this issue. Full disclosure, I previously *successfully* jailbroke this k3g, but it started locking up, so I did a factory reset, and went through the process of re-registering the device, so I could jailbreak it again. I did NOT update after the re-register.

I am putting the "...k3g_install.bin" file in the root directory, and when I hit "update" the updater runs, and says it failed, with the 007 error. I remember from the first time I did it (over a year ago, now), there was some error I had to chase, but I never saw the updater run.

Edit: 3.4.3 firmware. Same as before I did the factory reset.
