Apologies for lack of response; I have been away for a few days with limited access to the Internet.
Regarding your update: This is great news!
I have another Kindle Touch which I have bought for my wife (and have been scared to upgrade it to 5.0.3 firmware so as not to brick it as well...!), so I could potentially make a backup copy of its root partition to use in the restoration of my own KT.
Can you offer some instructions as to how to proceed with the recovery, or is it better to wait till your tool is finished?
As I said earlier, I am a reasonably experienced Linux user, so should be able to handle some CLI.
Cheers.
