There are examples of moving data with netcat in my in my "geekmaster kindle video player" thread. The problem is that you want to be in diags to capture main, and getting there without writing jailbreak stuff on main might be difficult. I have not done that on recent "factory fresh" firmware. I need to go check out your capture instructions (though busy getting ready for "doctor stuff").
We do not want any of that.

This is only an image copy of the USB storage area, nothing from the internals.

But the poster has Linux, so no problems with capturing from the root of the storage area (as contrasted to the root of the file system that is exported).
