I have a 3.0.3 Kindle 3G, jailbroken while still 3.0.2, then updated to 3.0.3, several hacks installed: launchpad, usbnetwork, European Keyboard, Free Download, Readability mod [EDIT] plus the wpa_supplicant hack to use enterprise wifi and a FBreader [/EDIT]. With this I installed the new jailbreak, downloaded 3.1 update and started updating.

First I get the Updating screen, then Update Successful, after restart, Updating again, small font in the lower right corner says "Phase 1 of 2", after a while, it says "Update was not successful, restarting."

I thought I may need to create the jailbreak folder with AMAZON_UPDATES file or perhaps clean all remaining files after previously testing Duokan, but nothing helps. The update always fails.

Any ideas? What is it that the Amazon update actually checks and what can fail the update?
The problem is that one or more of your hacks modified the system files (I think the wpa enterprise one). Amazon updates fail if you modify any of their files. You need to uninstall all hacks (just to be sure) and and previous update. Upgrade to 3.1. Then reinstall jailbreak and hacks.

You don't need this jailbreak unless you want to install new hacks, update your hacks, or uninstall them.
