As mentioned before, I plan to write a script to extract kernel images from mmcblk0.img backups.

There is a kernel image in the 5.0.4 update that you could extract, and burn that (but make sure it has the correct flash header on it). Or if you have access to another device, you can make a backup copy of the first 32MB of /dev/mmcblk0 and extract the main kernel from that (offset 0x41000, length in the flash header rounded up to the next 4KB block size).

Or... wait for somebody else to do it for you...
Yes, regarding my previous experience I will wait *somebody* to do it.
I don't think I can make it any worse, but I have never made anything better myself. I mean Kindle
Thank you anyway!
