I have the new black version of the Kindle 4 which was released in the UK a couple of days back. Although it comes without ads, I wanted to flash it so that I could add custom screensavers which would be nice. I can get into the Tequila dev menu, and apparently (according to the non-dev settings) I am running 4.1.0. I also get a refused connection. I'm not very knowledgeable on Unix but I have used Putty before.

So I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm guessing it's what has been stated in this thread previously. I think I might back down since there's no clear tutorial for my situation, and custom screensavers aren't worth a brick.

Edit: Okay, I can see a different thread for screensavers without jailbreak needed. We have a problem, though. I can't exit diagnostic mode. Every time I try or try to reboot, it appears to be doing so but always takes me back to this damn diag screen.
