You can extract rootfses from update files using NiLuJe's KindleTool. as for updates you can grab them straight from Amazon servers, even older versions. For example at the time of writing this is the latest FW for PW3:

Code:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredownloads/update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.15.1.bin

You simply need to change the URL link to the version you desire, like

Code:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredownloads/update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.12.2.bin

This will work down to roughly 5.8.x range as that's when Amazon started using the new links.
