When I connect it to a Pc, it doesnt enter USB mode unless I enter the recovery mode holding the home button. There I can see my books and all.
I can copy the former firmware, but how? It was 2.3.3 before I attempted to go for 2.5.

I think what I need is a kind of firmware or an update that will bring the Kindle to its factory defaults.

Any idea?
Hmmm, never had to use recovery mode.
But as long as you can see your books, you should be able to manipulate them.
First step probably would be to delete the "defective" firmware.
But before that: Where did you get it? Via Whispernet or some download?
