Is it possible to uninstall a kindle software update
Hello my first post,
I updated my KK wifi to 3.4 but the font is now blacker and thicker. I personally preferred the font contrast in 3.3. Is it possible reinstall 3.3? |

EDIT: You would need to keep wireless off (i.e. "airplane mode on") to prevent eventual OTA updates. Or you can install a font hack (check the Dev Corner "master index" sticky thread). Last edited by geekmaster; 09-12-2012 at 10:21 AM. |

Is this the guide? https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/K3noobdebrickatk
I think it might be a bit beyond my capabilities :-( |

And where any guides say to use 3.3, use 3.0.2 instead (the 3.3 images are at gitbrew, which is currently offline). You can upgrade from 3.0.2 to whatever version you want later. If you have questions, you should ask them in the simple debricking sticky thread in the Dev Corner. |

Like I said earlier, you could install a font hack instead of downgrading your firmware. We need to see if any hacks need upgrades for the new firmware, but you could try it.

Thankyou I didn't realise that.
I will make sure I understand what it is I need to do before just diving in and coming unstuck. NB: Before I started this post I contacted Amazon CS to ask whether uninstalling the 3.4 is possible? The adviser said no, but was helpful in that he said he'd relay my feedback to the tech department. |

What is "possible" is a subjective matter. The biggest limitation of possibility is a lack of imagination. Some people "think bigger" than others.
