For the discerning reader, the reason i havent posted a solution yet is that while i managed to get the device to boot, the image resized the partition to the size of the image so the /system cannot hold ANY additional...ANYTHING.
fastboot will not write a sparse image so im trying to figure out how to push the stock 11.3.2.1 .bin and reroot
yeah i saw your g+ post about it, posted my thought to but I don't thing they are going to help you
I cannot download the tar.gz file from google. It brings up a network error.

The problem is the new.img it worked for me because I dint wipe any data so I kept su. Im trying to get a rooted system.img today

hope you'll get the rooted system.img soon!
So i could try to get my messed up kfsowi back to stock... then root it again.

A new all-in-one program with a user interface is being designed as we speak (but not by myself) =)

Hello,
by mistake, i flashed the files for KFHD 2012 (Tate).
During my insuccessful operation, i also wiped the cache of the kindle.
I think that's the reason, why the script does not work.
Are there any news about your Factory Restore Tool and a rooted system.img?
Thank you.

Thanks kyleberry for the link! Then i'll have to wait for Gran PC's tool. Hope for a release soon.
Thanks a bunch for this.
the tool didnt do it, the timing of getting adb to work seems to me very difficult if you are booting with a fastboot cable , and then want to boot to the mini system img.
BUT....
if you let the tool install the minisystem.img
and then can get adb access , the following post on the google group got me back to stock
How to reinstall FireOS
Botched your /system partition beyond recognition? Everything is broken? Dropped your #Kindle in a sea of piss and need to RMA it? Fear not! You can just reinstall FireOS and get it looking just as if we had never touched it!
First of all, you'll have to root your tablet. I'm assuming you know how to do this!
Once that's done, put this file -- https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin -- in /sdcard/ (you can use adb push).
Then run these commands:
adb shell
su
root@android:/# cp /sdcard/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin /cache/update.zip
root@android:/# echo --update_package=/cache/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
root@android:/# exit
shell@android:/$ exit
adb reboot recovery
If everything went well, you should see the 'installing update' screen -- and once you're booted, we're back to stock! We did it!!!!!!
I did it slightly differently, I just renamed the bin on my pc first, and adb pushed it to /cache
I had to mount rootfs for r/w to do the adb push into /cache
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
chmod 777 /cache
Yeah the tool pretty much does just that (the steps on my guide, not your chmod shenanigans.. although that's a nice idea!)
Also, if you're gonna use the tool, please use the latest version (@kyleberry.graphics, update OP please):

It is a very old version, so I took it down. You can download it from https://peniscorp.com/firerooter22
