No go.

This one https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...67&postcount=3 did it for me, less than 5 hours ago. US DX 2.3.3 to 2.5.
Can't use most features though, not having registered my Kindle over here in Germany. Maybe I give the reginfo a try...

PaulGuy · 05-14-2010, 01:49 PM

Well I got it to work!
I downloaded the file from a different link (which happens to be the one mgmueller posted) but I also decided to turn off my wireless while I tried the up grade so I'm not sure which caused it to work.

Let me know how you get on with reginfo, if you go for it....

I just installed this on mine and it worked fine with all the features. Mine is a US version that I am using in the UK, I had previously registered it via the reginfo hack as I was unable to perform the wireless registration.

Sheikspeare · 05-14-2010, 06:08 PM

bimboles, please give us a step-by-step guide on how to do it. Would really appreciate it, mate.

Thanks.

As far as I can remember I used telnet to connect to the device via the USB netowk hack. By the looks of things the USBNetwork hack is not working yet on 2.5. So this is going to be the first hurdle.

I would update to this fw just for the PDF zoom feature. However it will be good to have the collections.

Bimboles, could you please again confirm..if the kindle was previously registered, the collections features works?
Doesn't it seem to need a live whispernet for this purpose??

My KDX US was previously owned and registered, so i still have the previous registration info in the device.

TIA..

Sheikspeare · 05-14-2010, 07:01 PM

bimboles, could you please explain what telnet is and what that entails insofar as connecting to the Kindle.

Thanks.

Download the bin file to your pc or mac.
Connect your Kindle DX US 2.3.3 to the pc/mac using it's USB cable.
Drag the bin file to the root directory of the Kindle DX.
Eject the KDX then disconnect it from your pc/mac.
From your home page turn wireless off (optional)
Then hit the menu button.
Scroll to Settings.
Click on Settings.
From the Settings page click the menu button again.
You should see a line in the menu Update Your Kindle.
Highlight and click then wait patiently until your home page returns.

Good Luck

I have installed the 2.5 on my KDX US.
collections is working. Now i have a cleaner and more organized first page.
Also PDF zoom works well.

usbnetwork update failed. Though it was recognized(menu option was enabled).

bimboles · 05-15-2010, 03:02 AM

I had previously Registered via the reginfo hack before upgrading to 2.5. Since upgrading all features are available except Twitter and FB, the menu options are there but they do not work because I cannot use whispernet in the UK.

Telnet is a protocol that can be used to remotely control a command line interface on a device. In order to use telnet you will first need to be able to connect via the USBnetwork hack. As mentioned before this does not appear to be working on 2.5. But I'm sure if you wait a while, someone a lot cleverer than me will work out how to get it working.

Sheikspeare · 05-15-2010, 04:51 AM

bimboles, yes I've been unable to activate the USB network function on v2.5. I was wondering if I reset to factory defaults, would that downgrade the version in which case I could apply the hack? Anyone?

JohnnyTToxic · 05-16-2010, 12:11 AM

Unfortunately, that doesn't set back the firmware version. It just removes all the books and changed settings from your kindle.

dizzyd · 05-16-2010, 06:18 PM

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong...
I downloaded the file
I dropped it into the kindle icon (just the icon - not the audible, documents, music or system folders) is this the root directory?

should i have unzipped it or something?

I then followed the rest of your directions ?
Any suggestions?

Are you sure your DX is now on software version 2.3.3? And that you have a US version KDX?
