Well, I do not have access to such a device. It's still around 600 Euros.

Well, I am/was* able to download the binaries from a official Kyocera Server belonging to kyocera.com.cn and I found the link using Google (not password protectet). 
But it's not distributed as a firmware download for customers. 
I whiped the software out from my harddisk until I can download it again, together with some witnesses.

*server seems to be down today.
