unbricking a Kindle (framework won't start)
I accidentally screwed up the start.sh script which starts the main Kindle app. The script is written in such a way that it tries to restart the app a few times then reboots. After a few reboots I get the "Your Kindle Needs Repair" screen.
I have the correct copy of the file and all I need is copy it over to correct my mistake but I can no longer get into the USB shell. Is there a way I can enable usbNetwork while in recovery mode or something like that? I don't have the anti-brick hack (alas). Any help is appreciated. Thanks! |

I do not have the answers, but just wondering, what happens when you connect the kindle to the computer??

Have you tried by holding the On/Off switch for 15 secs or more??
It is supposed to reset the kindle. Try it if you have not tried it before. |

I wonder if i can just make a small package that will revert my change. Does the Kindle pick up update packages on every reboot?

If you re-post in the sub-forum "Kindle Developer's Corner" - someone can probably send you a copy of your corrupted file.
