To read stuff from those areas you need to get it from a driver /proc interface. Even the idme tool does that (read from a /proc, write to /dev/mmcblk0).
hmmm...if the serial for the K3 is in an image, one must edit that before writing it on another K3. Would make a one-fits-all image for noobs impossible, unless a small batch is done, which writes the necessary device specific files and creates the image file for that specific reader.

ok...at home...downloaded ATK 1.67 and first problem is "No USB detected" (it is a absolutely bricked K3 3G+WiFi US with nothing coming out of the serial either).
Did a hard reset removing the battery, held the power on for over a minute without a battery.
When connecting the USB ist finds it for a second and then goes away (Kindle is not recognized)
