Are you using the correct one? There are 3: DX, K2i and K2. Make sure you're using the one for the K2. I also suggest redownloading the file.

You don't have the right file.
I think the new file is date Nov 24.
I try to find the right file.

I did use that one for the uninstall but it didnt work I had to use an old post by 911 jason. I already had my updates done when that page was put up. Maybe there is a mistake in the links. The link I just gave you, is to the hack that I personally used to update my Kindle. Try it and see if it will work for you. |

Look back through my posts on this page. The instructions are correct for this hack. |

I really appreciate the help but this is not working.. I just need one working link for the update.. I went by what was on the board and I guess its out of date even though the info appears to be recent.. I had great screen savers..went to remove them for the update. finally got that done and now I can't get them back though I can see them in my hidden files, I know they are there but can't seem to get them back on my kindle and cant figure out why.. the first time I did this it didn't take two hours plus.
and I did walk away at one point.. didn't help though.. this link you sent is great but has no instructions. I did what I normally would have done and I am still looking at dead authors.. I have no idea what is going on

When you unzip this file, there will be a readme txt file that walks you through it.

Save then Extract the zip file on your PC, select the correct .bin for your kindle (there are three) and put that .bin on your kindle when you have attached it to your PC. Then detach your kindle, then home, settings, menu, select 'update software' then it should be done. Same process for the fonts. Remember also to extract the 'uninstall' file for your kindle model so you can easily find it when another Amazon update comes out.

Patrizia, I believe it's actually the link in reply #41 that has the hacks. Here's a direct link to the screensaver hack: http://charles-reace.com/Kindle_Hacks/screensaverhack-0.1.zipHere's a list of the files in the zip file:  Betsy |

This may be a really silly question and please don't be offended but...
When you go to your settings screen, does it say "Version: Kindle 2.3" at the bottom?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.. I AM A COMPLETE BLONDE TODAY
once you guys got me the right files and I saw Betsys list I realized I was using the INTERNATIONAL FILE.. lo and behold I use the K2 and it works great and my photos are back.. soooo freakin simple and yet it took me two hours.. you guys are the best!!!
Brats, thanks for the correct link you sent me also.. I was confused as to which one I was using , and as some of you pointed out it was the old one Sebats same to you. It was the Ki file that was throwing me, I keep forgetting we have that..

sebat, it was a good question, it was the first thing I checked as well. no need in doing all this and having to uninstall it again for the update.. I dont think I could have dealt with that tonight |

select the correct .bin for your kindle (there are three) Maybe this needs to be stressed more along in the instructions, along with remembering to save the uninstall file, the correct one, for your kindle model. |
