- KindleTool md [ <input> ] [ <output> ]
Obfuscates data using Amazon's update algorithm.
If no input is provided, input from stdin
If no output is provided, output to stdout
- KindleTool dm [ <input> ] [ <output> ]
Deobfuscates data using Amazon's update algorithm.
If no input is provided, input from stdin
If no output is provided, output to stdout
- KindleTool convert [options] <input>...
Converts a Kindle update package to a gzipped tar archive file, and delete input.
Options:
-c, --stdout Write to standard output, keeping original files unchanged.
-i, --info Just print the package information, no conversion done.
-s, --sig OTA V2 updates only. Extract the payload signature.
-k, --keep Don't delete the input package.
-u, --unsigned Assume input is an unsigned & mangled userdata package.
-w, --unwrap Just unwrap the package, if it's wrapped in an UpdateSignature header (especially useful for userdata packages).
- KindleTool extract [options] <input> <output>
Extracts a Kindle update package to a directory.
Options:
-u, --unsigned Assume input is an unsigned & mangled userdata package.
- KindleTool create <type> <devices> [options] <dir|file>... [ <output> ]
Creates a Kindle update package. You should be able to throw a mix of files & directories as input without trouble.
Just keep in mind that by default, if you feed it absolute paths, it will archive absolute paths, which usually isn't what you want!
If input is a single gzipped tarball (".tgz" or ".tar.gz") file, we assume it is properly packaged (bundlefile & sigfile), and will only convert it to an update. Output should be a file with the extension ".bin", if it is not provided, or if it's a single dash, outputs to standard output. In case of OTA updates, all files with the extension ".ffs" or ".sh" will be treated as update scripts.
Type:
ota OTA V1 update package. Works on Kindle 3 and older.
ota2 OTA V2 signed update package. Works on Kindle 4 and newer.
recovery Recovery package for restoring partitions.
recovery2 Recovery V2 package for restoring partitions. Works on Kindle 5 (PaperWhite) and newer
sig Signature envelope. Use this to build a signed userdata package with the -U switch (FW >= 5.1 only, but device agnostic).
Devices:
OTA V1 & Recovery packages only support one device. OTA V2 & Recovery V2 packages can support multiple devices.

Options:
All the following options are optional and advanced.
-k, --key <file> PEM file containing RSA private key to sign update. Default is popular jailbreak key.
-b, --bundle <type> Manually specify package magic number. May override the value dictated by "type", if it makes sense. Valid bundle versions:

Lowest version of device that package supports. Default is 0.
Also acccepts min for 0.
-t, --tgtrev <ulong|uint> OTA & Recovery V2 updates only. Target revision. OTA V1 uses uint, OTA V2 & Recovery V2 uses ulong.
Highest version of device that package supports. Default is ulong/uint max value.

-h, --hdrrev <uint> Recovery V2 & Recovery FB02 updates only. Header Revision. Default is 0.
-1, --magic1 <uint> Recovery updates only. Magic number 1. Default is 0.
-2, --magic2 <uint> Recovery updates only. Magic number 2. Default is 0.
-m, --minor <uint> Recovery updates only. Minor number. Default is 0.
-c, --cert <ushort> OTA V2 updates only. The number of the certificate to use (found in /etc/uks on device). Default is 0.
0 = pubdevkey01.pem, 1 = pubprodkey01.pem, 2 = pubprodkey02.pem
-o, --opt <uchar> OTA V1 updates only. One byte optional data expressed as a number. Default is 0.
-r, --crit <uchar> OTA V2 updates only. One byte optional data expressed as a number. Default is 0.
-x, --meta <str> OTA V2 updates only. An optional string to add. Multiple "--meta" options supported.

-O, --ota Build a versioned OTA bundle (can only be used with the ota2 update type).
-C, --legacy Emulate the behaviour of yifanlu's KindleTool regarding directories. By default, we behave like tar:
every path passed on the commandline is stored as-is in the archive. This switch changes that, and store paths
relative to the path passed on the commandline, like if we had chdir'ed into it.
- KindleTool info <serialno>
Get the default root password. Unless you changed your password manually, the first password shown will be the right one.
(The Kindle defaults to DES hashed passwords, which are truncated to 8 characters). If you're looking for the recovery MMC export password, that's the second one.

If the variable KT_WITH_UNKNOWN_DEVCODES is set in your environment (no matter the value), some device checks will be relaxed with the create command.
-
Kindle 4.0+ has a known bug that prevents some updates with meta-strings to run.
-
Currently, even though OTA V2 supports updates that run on multiple devices, it is not possible to create an update package that will run on both the Kindle 4 (No Touch) and Kindle 5 (Touch/PW).
