No it was not a typo and I know what the command does very well and let assume the I have the complete image of mmcblk.
On the old versions of Kindle recovery from that is certainly possible: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...ownloader_mode
My question is: Have somebody find out how to activate the downloader mode on Paperwhite?
