I've restored it using cp -a, thanks. I'll try again keeping permissions in place.

EDIT: still not booting. that's what I did:

sudo tar -xpf rootfs_4.0.1.tar.gz -C 4.0.1/
(-p to preserve permissions)
sudo cp -a /home/giorgio/Scaricati/4.0.1/. /media/8aa0fe1a-7eb8-4f86-8f59-19fb11b72e86/
sudo cp -a /home/giorgio/Kindle/backup/lib/modules/. /media/8aa0fe1a-7eb8-4f86-8f59-19fb11b72e86/lib/modules/

sudo cp -a /home/giorgio/Kindle/backup/etc/kdb.src/. /media/8aa0fe1a-7eb8-4f86-8f59-19fb11b72e86/etc/kdb.src/

I didn't care for 3g as my kindle is wifi only. As before I can't see any log.
