Originally I was trying to downgrade (using diags) through this method: http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/README.txt. I was up to step 4, in the process of accessing my Kindle through SSH, when I went through the menu and hit install fastboot by accident.
I didn't overwrite anything, I didn't actually get to touch any of the files, so they remain untouched, it's just the kindle that's stuck.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite 2.
Hmm...
You are following the directions for a Kindle Touch while having a second generation Kindle Paperwhite.
(Different SoC / cpu / gpu - about the only thing the same is the case and the name.
I certainly hope you did not put the KT or PW1 firmware files on the device.
There is a different process / set of directions for downgrading a PW2. )


Let us see if we can get you out of this corner you painted yourself into.

Did you complete step 3?
I.E: Can you ssh into the Kindle?
(It may not be "stuck" - some of the steps do not change the screen display.)

If not, then you didn't make it to step 4 (yet).

PS: Stop trying to do this under Windows -
Boot your PC with the Kubrick Live CD (it runs Linux, memory resident), and then access the Kubrick command line (alt-f3) for the manual tools.)
