2.5 update = 2.5.2!

[Patricia]

And I'm in the northeast...

[Casse]

I am finally at the point with the 2.3.3 file that the "update your Kindle" is available. However when I click on okay it goes back to the setting and device info page and nothing happens?? Any ideas?

Bumping this question off the last page as I can't figure this out?

Thanks for any help

I am sorry to ask this question in this thread, but perhaps there are others with the same dilemma as me. I still have version 2.0.3 on my K2. Where do I go to get version 2.3 so then I can start to download the others (2.3.3 then 2.3.4 then 2.5.2)?

Thanks!

It has been handled very poorly lets make the customers who paid $300 + the last to take advantage of the new software we have told them about 4 months ago just put up the files for us to download

I can actually understand why they haven't put up the files yet. At the moment, it looks like there will be at least 12 different files (k2, k2i, dx, and dxi times 2.3, 2.3.3, 2.3.4) If people are having difficulty downloading just the 1 that was put up today, it's going to be a mess to get people to download the correct one. (Do you know how many people don't realize they have a K2i and think they have a K2 (US) or vice versa or how many people with DX's tried to use the K2i file even though it specifically says it only worked for the K2i?)

I'm not certain, but you may be able to go directly to the 2.3.3 (it won't hurt to try) It's supposed to be a stand-alone update. If not, I'm sure there's a file around here somewhere that we can find a 2.3 link. I'm actually headed to bed, but if someone doesn't find it tonight and the 2.3.3 doesn't work for you, I'll find it in the morning.

I'm not sure, that's not something I usually hear. It's usually wither grayed out or the update says not successful. What Version are you currently on and what version Kindle do you have (k2 or k2i) If you're not sure, go to settings and type 411. Your serial number will start with B003 if it's a K2i or B002 if it's a K2.

Wooohooooo! Thanks!! I wasn't able to download luvmy4brat's file. I think the site was too busy from people here. I was able to download from NogDog's site, though.

It scared me at first because it took a minute for my books to show up once it had restarted with 2.5.2 on it, but they came back and now I'm going to make collections!!!

I have version 2.3.2 and a K2i

Thanks for any help as this is really frustrating.

Try restarting your Kindle and then see if it works. Otherwise, you may need to try to download that particular file again.

Thanks. We are doing the "Sync and Check for Items" on my Kindle right now and it's taking forever. My guess is that I'm getting the 2.3. I will check it again in the morning and if it's there, I'll start on the next three updates. If it's not there, I'm not sure what to do. I checked Amazon and I can't find the old updates anywhere, only a blurb about the upcoming 2.5.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It worked? Oh goodie. I'm always glad when that happens.

Yep it worked AND I now have "collections"   

[ayuryogini]

It looks like those links were taken down. hhmm.. I think that's because the person who did those took the files from other people (including me) and created his own zip files and uploaded them.

What version do you have now? I'll see if I can't get you the ones you need posted over here.

This goes to 2.3.3

My this is a busy thread; Just to bump up these  instruc's; they were monumental in me getting mine updated; just remember to go to "Home > Menu > Settings > Menu >  Update Your Kindle" between each one.

[Luvmy4brats]

I wasn't going to update. I planned to wait until the hacks came out, but I decided what the heck, I was lucky enough to get it. I better make sure it works before I upload it.

The first collection I created: "Utter Crap". Many of the books my mom has bought are in that collection. I hope she doesn't notice.

I received my k2 replacement just now according to cs rep I just spoke to I have a k2i according to serial number its US either way its showing 2.0.4 do I need to manually do all of the updates or will it go to 2.5 on its own?
Has anyone in the Dallas/Ft worth gotten the update yet

Nope!   

but soon i hope

That's hilarious!

I'm sort of torn between waiting to see when I'll be sent the update (have K2i) or just downloading it myself. We'll see if my will power holds out.

I say download it. That way you can play with your collections. It's pretty easy to do.

Okay I am seriously confused... sorry to keep adding to all of this but I am in and out all the time.  Is the update out, or some where that I can down load it?  I have 2.3 (399380047) which one is that exactly?

lastly if and when I am directed to download it myself how do I make it work on my kindle?

I just sent the file and luvmy4brats' link to it to a friend who has a k2i.  Also sent her a link to this thread, but she's not registered to kindleboards.  She just heard about it from a blog and asked me if this is something she should get.

The update is starting to get released. Last night, I was able to capture it before it was installed (I had the hacks on) The version I have is for a K2i (running version 2.3.4) If you have a K2I, then you'll be able to use this update.

To tell if you have a K2i Go to home>Menu>settings>then type in 411, you'll find your serial number. If it starts with B003, you're good to go and have a k2i

However you need to do 2 smaller updates first to get it to 2.3.4 first

Here's what you'll need:

This goes to 2.3.3

So now there are downloadable files for all the kindles but the K2?

Ack! 

[Gwennie]

Delayed Gratification is a refined art, by Gawd!  I'm waiting, I tell you!  Waiting for "nature to take its course"....!     

[prickles]

I feel like I've been very patient. But I'm starting to lose it now. I just caught myself actually considering buying a new kindle just so I could get the upgrade now!
Please help Amazon- I'm losing my mind!

Or maybe that's their secret plan to boost sales?
