Oh, I mean when in main mode, run fastboot from Kindle itself, flash kernel main and diags -> switch mode to diags -> dd main -> boot
All this automated with a script, with an ARM x-compiled fastboot. Still no cigar?

Supposedly we can't flash kernels when we're in main?!

My scenario is to be able to switch between KT 5.0.0 and 5.1.0 run from Kindle, with the same freedom that those who run dualboot Duokan and KindleOS have. This might have some use in future too!
