There are several places where you can find how to go fro 2..3.3 to 2.3.4

I've already taken my meds for the night and am getting loopy, so  I'm no use there, but I think they're in the tips and troubleshooting threads.

I assume the file only works for the K2i, not the K2 US?  Is that correct?  Anyone try this file on the K2 US?  Just curious

I'm assuming this is for the K2i. This was a no-go on my K2. Sad

Yes, unfortunately for the US K2 owners, I think the 2.5.2 update that luvmy4brats was able to grab for us is for the k2i. At least she said that she got it from her k2i.

 Cry  Well, I did download the 2.3.4 update & got it successfully loaded on my K2i, but couldn't get 2.5.2 to successfully update.  So I'll just keep Whispernet on and hope it'll download on its own...

OK, now Amazon should definitely post the update for us to download, now that users are posting the file to download.  As far as I know, there is no way to verify that the file being posted is the real deal.  I'm not saying the file isn't genuine, I'm just saying, Come on, Amazon, please post the download link!!

I just finished updating the kindle and it works brilliantly. I'm personally happy with it and also happy that now I have protection for my books. But yeah, it seems to be working great!

My K2i was stock at 2.3

I manually updated to 2.3.3

I manually updated to 2.3.4

I manually updated to 2.5.2

It worked great.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible.
