I'd be very grateful, geekmaster, if you would write a little more about how you used USB HID mode to eventually launch ssh. I can get my bricked KT into USB HID mode (with the wiki information), but then you talk about two things that are beyond my technical knowledge, using a custom u-boot image and flashing the kernel. Once it's at the Diags menu it looks easy to start usbnet. Then I can fix mine, which probably is bricked by a problem others are also dealing with, judging by the notice at the top of the wiki, of /var/local filling up.

This is even with my serial port RxD line no longer working, so I cannot type u-boot or bist commands (which I now force in custom u-boot images, mostly to get to fastboot mode).

I can reflash my partitions from here. ;-)
