Title says it all.

I have been trying to get the usbNetwork working on my Kindle2 (B002) with firmware 2.5.7, but I am having problems.

Since it's a second hand unit, I was kinda wondering if there were hacks installed already (or if one of the many that I have tried during this adventure may still be loaded and interfering)

If I "Reset to Factory Defaults" - will that unload any hacks that may have been installed?

If not, is there a way that I could completely clear everything to return to an "out of the box" state?

if not, is there a way I can tell which ones ARE installed so that I could possibly track down and run their uninstaller?
