Also, dont really understand what you mean by stripping 'compression extension'  |
".tar" is not the last extension in the archive's name.
".tar.xz" is the extension pair. ( .tar = type of archive, .xz = type of compression).
Some PC systems are set to uncompress anything that looks like it is compressed before the user ever sees it. Which is why you are not seeing the ".xz" compression type.
The contents of that compressed archive looks like the first attached image. (Ignore the -1 in the title bar, that is an artifact of my having the archive open in two different desktops.)
The package info of the highlighted install package is:
Code:
mszick@HP8300:~/work/USBNetwork$ kindletool convert --keep --info Update_usbnetwork_0.57.N_k2_dx_k3_install.bin
Checking update package 'Update_usbnetwork_0.57.N_k2_dx_k3_install.bin'.

Which shows that the package is built for all Models with firmware 2.x or 3.x ..
Do you have a Frankenstein DX(G)? I.E: One that has had some version of 3.x.y firmware installed instead of 2.5.8?
OR
It could be a problem with the "target OTA" entry. NiLuJe would have to answer that, not in my pay grade.
