The problem is that we don't have CLI access on the Kindle, so we cannot "mount the ISO", and we certainly cannot write the partition images we do have.

Amazon provides full partition images as part of their official updates, that isn't the problem.
The problem is getting the Kindle to use the update/image/etc.


If you peel open the case and connect to the serial port, you can get a root shell, and from there you can do anything you need to. But currently that is the ONLY way to get control of a Kindle on fw>=5.6.0 -- unless you are already jailbroken.
