My "hacked" screensavers are lost after the firmware update to 5.3.4. Now all the default screensavers are back. It's a Kindle Paperwhite, originally without special offers.

When trying to run update_linkss_0.7.N_uninstall.bin i get the error message:

Software Update
The update was not successful.
If you need assistance visit www.kindle.com/support.
To resume using your Kindle, please press the power button.
UPDATE ERROR: 3

Also get the same message if i try to reinstall the update_linkss_0.7.N_install.bin. I've disconnected the kindle before running the bin files, of course. But can't figure out why the updates fails...

Any ideas?
