Kindle Updating Fail

EDIT: I figured out the problem. It's Amazon's fault. The file they show for updating both 3.4 and 3.4.1 was designed for 3.4.1. to 3.4.2. (That's why its name is Update_kindle_3.4.1_3.4.2...) I went to Archive.org and found an older Kindle 3 update page (in the Wayback Machine) and in it I was able to download the 3.4 to 3.4.2 file (Update_kindle_3.4_3.4.2...). My Kindle took to it right away and is now registered.

I've got the three files downloaded now, so will be willing to send them. The way I found them was by going to Archive.org and placing this link in the Wayback Machine entry.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200529700

Then I chose May 18, 2017 and found the older download page with the missing downloads. (I was able to replicate the search.)

Could you re-post those files to a public file server?
MediaFire works well and has provisions for free file postings.
Don't bother - I copied all 15 of the files, here:

(ADrive allows server-server uploads - which is fast)

Okay. I'll see what I can do. Meanwhile, do you want me to forward you copies of these files? (I don't know if PM will let me do it, though.)

Meanwhile, I think this link should get you to the page on Archive.org ...

EDIT: It looks like this link does get you there.

I gave them a thread of their own now.

Note that ADrive allows you to download a zip file of all 15 files - just for those who might want to also mirror these missing files.

To find them in the future:
All anyone has to do is filter the index page by K3 - then click to the page of all 15 files.

Well, there you go.

Now there's three ways to get there.

EDIT: Unless you want me to do otherwise, I'll just leave my links up in this thread, just leave yours for the other thread (a lot better organized anyhow).

The more the better.
These things tend to get lost.
