Rest Kindle PW2 to original

Does anybody know how to reset the kindle to original start screen which we get out of the box.It is the image of the kindle and some thing written in various language.

That is, to the best of my memory, what you get from a Factory Reset.

No after reset we get the screen we have to select the language.

I don't believe there's any means of getting further back than that. Why do you want to?

There actually is:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind..._Bar_Shortcuts

First enter ;debugOn , then ;shpm .
You may also need to put an empty file DONT_CHECK_BATTERY to user store beforehand.

EDIT: That's actually also the only way how to power off Kindle without root access.

Dave - a word of caution here.

If your reason for doing this is attempting to sell "As New" the old Kindle that Amazon have given you a replacement for, then don't do it. Amazon will have "blacklisted" your old device. Nobody will be able to register it. Amazon don't send out replacement Kindles to allow you to profit by reselling the old ones!

I will sell the 4GB replacement kindle.Snnce it was never registered to me,anybody can register it.

PS:I again got another 4GB one with yellowish screen.I guess yellowish screen is common.I dont want to go through the hassle to replace it again.
So I will sell it.
I am keeping the 2GB model since it has white screen
I see.

I charged the kindle to 100% but still it says "Unable to enter shipping mode owing to battery level falling below permissible level"

I guess I have to do the other way using the empty file in user store.
How do I do it?

Sorry, not going to help you. I'm afraid I think your actions are (at best) unethical in the extreme. Amazon do NOT send out free replacement devices so you can make a profit by selling them.

I've got to go with @HarryT on this one... what you're doing just smells wrong.
