I have the k2i .bin file for 2.5.2...
And apparently it works. It' is for K2I 2.3.4, so if you have a previous version you'll have to upgrade to 2.3.4 first (files are floating around here somewhere) Then it will update to 2.5.2.
Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?nqy2qmnmyjm --- If you're at 2.3 or 2.3.2, you need to update to 2.3.3 first: http://www.amazon.com/update_kindle2_gw.bin If you're at 2.3.3, then you will need to update to 2.3.4: http://rapidshare.com/files/38279404...2_gw_2.3.4.bin Once you're at 2.3.4 you can download and install 2.5.2 --- I know you love me, and if you're so inclined I'll take donations for my breast cancer walk. It's for a VERY good cause!!!) http://www.the3day.org/site/TR/2010/...s_tafId=237717 Last edited by luvmy4brats; 06-12-2010 at 02:05 PM. |

I can testify to the fact that it actually works (at least it did on mine). In my K2 international, I went from 2.3.4 to 2.5.2 |

Works Great
I updated to 2.3.4. Then I renamed the downloaded 2.5.2 bin file to Update_kindle2_gw_2.5.2.bin, copied to my kindle, updated fine.

Thank you so much, works like a charm. Updated successfully from 2.3.4 to 2.5.2 on my K2i - there's no restrictions on my internet-access anymore!

Many thanks, pilotdrh2003!!
I did as you said and the upgrade was easily accomplished. Makes me even more annoyed with the way the Kindle folk have been (mis)handling the new upgrade. |

Cause they would like to keep the risk down what happens when they open whispernet for all. Maybe they checked if the roaming data would burn their money |

I'd have to install three updates, since I have 2.3? I think I'm too lazy
