There is the Freescale toolkit (ATK) for the iMX35, I played with it for a few minutes, but didn't really get anywhere. Aside from that, I never saw reports from someone who went further.
Perhaps you noticed I did not say: "How" to do that?

I only know it can be done, but like you, have not learned (yet) how to do it.
O.P. reports that u-boot is working, that should be enough working firmware on the kindle to get the job done.
Just don't ask me how (yet).
I do own a K3, and am certain I will brick it sometime (probably RSN, just any day).
