There you will find an image file of the filesystem and a u-image file (which contains the kernel).

Note 1: The Kindles are "dual boot" -
The "Main" system image file is too big for fastboot to properly handle.
The "Diag" system image (not provided by Amazon - only here*) file is small enough for fastboot to copy.

*) I have a script posted here that will backup both the main and the diags system of a pw3.
Contact someone who has a working pw3, ask them to run it and send you the diags u-image and diags system image files.
I used "./kindletool convert update*.bin" , then extracted it with "tar" there are few files, a folder imx60_wario, and inside is uImage(this is the same image I got with "./kindletool extract " and tried to copy it ).. Which I can't copy via fastboot? The only way now is to find someone who can send me his files? Am I getting it right?
