Aha, thanks, I understand (a bit). I was referring to the 'backup' created by the Yifanlu firmware upgrade procedure, in the 'output' folder, named 'update_restore-os.bin'. There is also another file there named 'rootfs.img'. I restored my DXG to version 2.5.8 using the update_restore-os.bin file and the normal Kindle firmware update action. I guess that that is not really the same as a 'real' restore. It worked, but did not help with my real problem of getting back the Kindle Store in 3.1 and 3.2.1.
I assume that restoring the rootfs image using usbNetworking would be more convincing to the device. But that is still just one of many partitions I understand. So my backup is probably incomplete anyway
So maybe I will just give it a rest now and wait to hear if K3 firmware 3.4.2 on K2 devices is sufficient to access the Kindle Store after whatever action Amazon will take next month.
Maybe someone will figure out a somewhat less intimidating process to get from 3.3 to 3.4.2. In the meantime thanks for all the help and info.
