Kindle DXG 2.5.5 to 3.2.1 problems
Hello,

I have a kindle dxg with a 2.5.5 firmware. I successfully installed the 0.4 jailbreak from Yifan Lu. I downloaded the 2.5.8 update from amazon and put it in the root folder of my kindle and tried to update it. It always tells me that the update is not successful. On the amazon page it says that this update is for kindles prior 2.5 so isnt it possible for mine? Do you need 3G running for the update?
Depsite that problem I tried to update to 3.2.1 but dont understand how to do it without a "host" kindle how it is discribed in Yifan Lu install instructions. Can someone help me with that?

DX's only run 2.x versions of firmware.

I am pretty sure that Yifan Lu programmed a update file so it's possible. There is just the problem that there is a device needed for that that has 3.2.1 on it because he doesnt offer the firmware for it. I havent found a direct download link yet that offers the whole setupfile even though it had been out there. Can anyone send me a link as a private message?

You have to search for the upgrade file from the post by Lu Yi Fan. I want to mention though, that the wake up time from sleep mode takes at least 15 seconds. I am actually thinking of downgrading again.

Downloading the v3 firmware is a copyright violation unless you actually own a device with v3 firmware. We will not permit MobileRead to be used for such purposes. Please don't ask anything similar again.

Thank you.
