Could this be the OTA update file?
I have just got my Kindle PaperWhite 2 thanks to my aunt. However it is on FW 5.6.5. Following the GUIDE I have located a large file inside the device. Could this be the OTA file? Then what can I do with it to recover?

And those views (finally) give us the information needed to fix the Backdoor lock. Question: is the leading '#' your recovery tool's way of marking a deleted file? (Usually '_' is used) Hmm... I suppose we could control all *DATE.{TMP, BIN} files. Until we know for sure. = = = What can you do? Add a serial port connection to the console, operator's port. UNLESS the device had been jail broken before the update to 5.6.5 |

I was using EaseUS Recovery on Mac, so I guess it is the recovery tool's way. BTW, I have no idea which FW it was upgraded from. Anyway, since I have already extracted this file, I guess uploading it for you guys could help the development right? |

@knc1: that looks like the initial factory update, rather than a true OTA, not sure it'll be much help to BDL.
Getting a look at it will definitely settle the matter though . |
