All of these restores seem to be for completely bricked Kindles. Fortunately my Kindle is fine other than the fact I tried some screen saver hack that I shouldn't have.

Is it possible to undo the following hack? I am hoping going back into diag/usb mode via Putty and inputting some command lines will do the truck. Or do I have to completely follow the various PDF guides?

Here are the steps that I have done...

mntroot rw
mkdir /mnt/us/screensaver
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/base-mmc
mv /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800.old
ln -sfn /mnt/us/screensaver /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800

Thanks in advance for any help!
