I screwed up a lot... So here’s the story:
I compiled the Kindle Touch 5.1.2 Linux kernel (linux-2.6.31, I believe), and I flashed the uImage using fastboot to my Kindle. Of course, I forgot to backup my kernel, forgot to extract and compile the initramfs, forgot about kexec, forgot that I was running 5.3.2.1, and forgot that I downloaded the source code a few months ago.
Can someone send me a backup of their kernel? I’ll use it for extracting the initramfs and restoring. Use geekmaster’s getkernels script:

Thanks a lot!
By the way, I also unpacked the 5.3.2.1 update file using kindletool as an effort to get the kernel, see screenshots for details. In the folder 15, there are 4 new update files following the pattern of update-15-*.bin. When extracted, each contains a file called update-kernel.tar.bz2 that in turn contains an uImage patch. I do have the 5.1.2 kernel, so any advice on how to apply these patches is appreciated.
