Help restore deleted partition

[redred]

Hey guys, I could really use some help...

While installing my arch, I didn't notice that my Kindle Voyage was plugged, and I accidentally deleted it's partition...
I tried to recover the partition using testdisk and gpart, but with no success...
I would just re-partition it using fdisk but I'm not sure what was the type of the partition

Do you have any suggestion on how should I approach this, or how the Kindle Voyage was originally partitioned?

Meaning all you could see was the usual "USB storage area" over the USB cable?

Then the answer is simple -
Unplug the USB cable and re-boot the KV with a long (>30 seconds) press of the power button.
Ignore any pop-up panels, just keep holding the button until the screen flashes.

The 'cold start' re-boot will detect the damaged partition and correct things for you.
DO NOT use external tools to recreate and format the partition - the Kindle uses some special options not often seen in external tools.
So just let the device do it itself.
