Yea, it's the only one that works. I tried the kernel and diag files for 4.0 and 4.0.1 and I get nothing but a black screen when booting into diagnostics.

As for using the commands, by the end of it I just used the tool to boot into diags and just did the ssh commands and then instead of rebooting via ssh I used the tools to set it back to main, it worked eventually for me.
It was plugged in for a few hours on a wall outlet last night, but i've got it plugged in again right now. I'll leave it for the day.

I didn't miss it, I just thought I had charged it enough, and I don't fully understand all of this. Sorry to be a pain. I am thankful for the help, though.


Edit: It's plugged in and at the screen above. Should it charge in this state?
