Hey folks, I've been a longtime lurker on these forums. Over the years my Kindle 2, international has become a monster of mods and jailbroken patches. I suspect because I have no backups of these files I'm not gonna get any answers I would want to hear, but I'm hoping someone smarter than me might have a good idea for this one.
So here's the situation:
1) I have a kindle 2, international jailbroken
2) It's running on kindle version 3.2.1 that I updated at some point
3) With the security patch that came out in March, it wouldn't auto download over night so I knew I would have to manually do it, which is where I'm at now
This gets even trickier because I'm sure I broke something at some point where I no longer even have the kindle detected by windows, but I can still putty into it and transfer/wget files. It also seems like the security update is just an update to the cacerts file.
Here's what I'm wondering, is it possible still for me to revert out of all the ugly changes I did to the kindle and get it back to stock to try and get that security update in place? Or alternatively, would it be as simple as asking for someone elses cacerts file or does that contain information that is different per device? Or option 3, im way of base and I should just give up? I tried throwing the Kindle Services Update which belongs to software version 2.5.8 but as expected it complained on restart (i suspect because im running 3.2.1).
Any help would be great, any brains out there have some ideas for me to try? I'm open to half fixes, basically the ideal scenario is I get the security patch installed.
