I just used my friend's computer to run kindletool using the command prompt. Kindletool worked, but unfortunately there was an error in extracting the .bin file and I was not able to obtain the rootfs.img.gz file (or the uIMage file, which the instructions in the link say that I also need).

Would anybody who is somewhat computer-savvy possibly be able to extract these two files for me using kindletool and make them available by download? If that is possible, I would be very grateful. Thank you!

The .bin file of the old firmware version to be extracted is here:
