How to restore your Kindle Fire 2
Notes
Using the backup.sh from kinfauns that I modded because the partition table for the KF2 is not the same as the HD.
I attached the new backup.sh for the KF2 on this post.

Restoration tool
I developed a Recovery Tool based of the one onemeila created for the KFHD.
This will restore your boot/recover partitions (good for if you are gonna mess with the Bootloader Crack)
Restore your system.img to a Deodexed Rooted 10.2.1 Software. I have stripped ALOT of Kindle Apps from this backup.
Erase userdata & cache cleanup should be done when restoring.

Kinfauns for the original backup.sh
Onemeila for his original Recovery Tool for the KFHD
Special thanks
verygreen, hashcode, and fattire for answering my endless and noobish questions and saying there HAS to be a way.
And all those who have offered to help me get a 10.2.1 system.img for the KF2
Enjoy!
Additional Info
The post here contains the partition table for the KF2.
How I did it:
Due to the raw system.img being too big for fastboot to flash back to the KF2 I had to make the raw image
a sparse image file using help found in this post.
With that all said and done I was able to flash the sparse system.img to my KF2 and restore it!
It was bricked big time!!!!

- Mount the raw system.img (created and extracted from the system.img.gz using the backup.sh)
Code:mkdir sys sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img sys/
- Create a new flashable(sparse) system image.
Code:sudo ./make_ext4fs -s -l 929038336 -a system new_system.img sys/ sudo umount sys rm -fr sys
With that all said and done I was able to flash the sparse system.img to my KF2 and restore it!
