Amazon Kindle 10th generation bricked after downgrade

[Immediate-Risk]

I used this guide to downgradr my amazon kindle 10th generation to version 5.12.5: https://kindlemodding.gitbook.io/kin...indle-firmware

The downgrade was succesful but now my kindle shows a white screen. It shows the screensaver when I press the power button and also the reboot menu when long pressing the power button. I tried rebooting, but it didn't help. I also tried long pressing the power button to force a reboot, but it didn't help either. Is there any way to save my kindle or do I have to throw it away?

If that Kindle still gets seen as a removable drive when you connect it to a computer using USB cable you should use your computer to create a file with filename "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" (so file shouldn't have any extensions, if you're creating the file on Windows using Explorer it will add ".txt" extension so you'll need to use rename to remove the extension) > eject Kindle from you computer > unplug USB cable > press and hold power button on Kindle for 20-30 seconds / until it force reboots.

That should trigger a factory reset and after that hopefully your firmware downgraded Kindle should be functional again. After that make sure to reinstall jailbreak hotfix and restart / reboot your Kidle 2-3 times.

Here you go, to make sure you don't mess-up creating that extensionless file I've done it for you, just unzip / unpack that zip file into the "root" ( = top level) level of Kindle drive:
