I have finished my attempts at updating the rootfs.img file, and unfortunately it does not appear to be possible right now.

The log from performing an update gives this information:
Code:
<4>[   50.353976] INFO:bundle/unbundle_wario.c:1947:unbundle_file():RootFS:Present siglen=256 sigpassed=NO
So in the FB02 ( factory style ) update packages, each individual file is still signed. And we woudl need to production key to get past that.


At this point, I am looking for a volunteer to test the following on a Manga Model kindle that has not done any updates past 5.8.7 ( or is fresh out of the box with 5.8.9.0.1 )

I have a franken-update containing the following items.

1. A Properly signed 5.8.7 uBoot ( uBoot is where the previous PW3-32gb bricks whose threads I have been on were located )
  • PW3-32 support was added in 5.8.5 - that version has some unuasual features so I went up to 5.8.7 which should also fully support pw3-32
2. A Properly signed 5.8.7 uImage ( Linux kernel )
3. A properly signed linux file system from PW3-4gb 5.7.4 ( the one that we can jailbreak )

I recognize that it is a bad idea to mismatch the uImage kernel and the kernel modules living in the filesystem, but based on my experiences, I believe that it would function well enough to allow a user to run the jailbreak, hotfix, and then update to the real 5.8.7 getting everything matched back up.
