Hey. I bricked my black K4 and apparently I need firmware version 4.1 but the download links on the website do nothing (Chrome Developer Tools console shows a 404).

kernel-4.1.0: http://ge.tt/8bd9NXU/v/1
mmcblk0p1-4.1.0: http://ge.tt/8bd9NXU/v/0

Does anyone have the files or a working link to the files?

UPDATE: I tried flashing 4.0 even though the file (https://pastebin.com/Wdw4L7yT) says that black ones need 4.1.0 and it worked!
UPDATE2: Now I'm unable to update to the latest version (Original update file is not detected, repacked using kindletool it launched but failed with error u006).
