cd extracted
kindletool create ota2 -d kindle5 . > ../Update_linkss_0.25.N_install_kindle5.bin
and it works for the most part. When I hit "restart framework now" in KUAL, after the restart, I can't unlock my Kindle. The frontlight is stuck on, there's no pin entry dialog, and pressing the power button does nothing. However, after forcing a reboot by holding down the power button for a while, I can use it just fine. Using Menu → Settings → Menu → Restart works.

And I'm using either the random or shuffled mode (I can never keep them straight), and that works just fine.
I just created an account to beg you for this bin file, I have the same kindle you do! XD I just tried for an hour to get kindletool properly working on both my Windows and Mac computers to no avail....I'll send a message as well in case it doesn't ping you. Thanks! EDIT: Messages aren't allowed, so I'll just hope you get a notification
