Tell me please, I have firmware 3.0.2. Does it make sense to the last update or is it worse than the current one?

Well, the manufacturer recommends that everyone update to the latest, now it's 3.1.
It is no worse - there are no special differences at all: smile:
Russification is possible on both 3.0.2 and 3.1, so the choice is yours

Yeah, just write that the numbering display will be strange ..
But could you write in this topic a detailed instruction on flashing using standard tools: how to reflash, make backup, restore the old firmware and what information is lost during the flashing? Is it possible to put hacks all at once or necessarily after each update? I think for many people this would be useful, it would help to avoid possible mistakes.

To update the official firmware is necessary
- Download it from your account on Amazon
- Copy the file to the root of the Kinlde disk
- Home ->Menu ->Settings ->Menu ->Update Your Kindle
Roll back to an older firmware is impossible. You can install hacks on firmware 3.0.1 - 3.0.3 and 3.1. That is, you can install right now, or you can update the official firmware and install it on it.

Gentlemen, who will tell us what is usbnetworking? Is it internet usbsharing?
And where is it written in the Kindle, if not a secret? =)
Well USBnetworking, I think, this connection via USB cable is hardly the same with internet usbsharing

Good afternoon, could you help me, I have kindle amazon 3G with firmware 3.1 and I can’t russify it, although on older firmware I Russified without problems.
The fact is that after throwing the jail file to the root of the disk, I press HOME then MENU I select SETTING back I press MENU and I have lost this window, it’s as if I’ve pressed HOME.

maybe the old jail was not removed,
for firmware 3.1, jail 0.6.N, rusik 0.10,
there are errors when downloading a file, and there should be no problems

Yes, I already did a restore to the factory settings (Home is clamped when turned on, and a reset is written), the previous owner tried to Russify, but what the FIG knows
so do not delete, uninstall must be removed,
Yes, and hands then delete the folders that are left
from DJ ...
Connect the book to your computer and see.
