Need help on SSH connection!

My KT was bricked after running out of battery.

I tried to debrick it following instructions from this post: USB debricking for noobs (K4/K5): https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=180789, and was stuck when trying to SSH to KT with putty, each time when i tried got a warning "PuTTY Fatal Error Network error: Connection refused".

The OS i'm using is windows 7 64 bit. After struggling with the drivers, i successfully boot into flashboot mode and flashed the diags_kernel (diags_kernel-5.0.0: http://www.mediafire.com/?wxv0eat6lcz6mx6) and diags ( mmcblk0p2_ssh-5.0.1: http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/...ags+ssh.img.gz) (also tried other images ). Then reboot into diags mode, selected N) U) Z) X), and installed driver "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device", set IP of this connection to 192.168.15.201 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Then tried to connect with PuTTY and got the error as described above.

I also tried with different computers and the result is the same.

Does anyone has any idea what would be the problem?
