Hi yifanlu! Great to see you again. I would have poked you anyways in the coming days, since I have two questions about your K3 rescue kernel. But to answer your question: Yep! We can read (!) and write (!!) any single part of the MMC with bare Freescale SoC ROM-based USB downloader. So the K3 is now considered fully recoverable. It was actually very simple and not a big deal. I started out with a much more complex idea on it, and in the end it showed that the Freescale defaults did already fit the Kindle platform.
As ATK writes plain binary images, I have a first question for you: I flashed the uImage you provided in your rescue kernel image installer to my K3. But then: How do I make it export the full MMC? Pressing "E" in the rescue menu just exports the user partition, like the original kernel does. So how am I supposed to trigger the full export?
And then I have a simple request: Could you provide this rescue kernel as pure uImage, too? (preferable named as "k3-rescue-kernel-uimage.bin" - ATK will deal better if the file is suffixed with ".bin")
