I can't really recommend anything more than I allready wrote.

Just to re-iterate: hold power for 60 seconds (a little bit more is better than little bit less :-), let it go and hold it again really fast. There is probably 1 second or less timeout somewhere because I wasn't fast enough in first few tries. You should see screen going flashing black-white at this point.

Use some kind of digital clock to track seconds (I used xclock -update 1), don't just count in your head...

If nothing happens, try to plugin your kindle in USB port or pressing all keys one by one. I don't know why this helps, but I noticed that on 2.5.8 when resetting. It's almost like Kindle needs one more event (other than releasing power button) to actually reset.

I think you need to hold enter key at this point (and not during whole procedure, but I might be wrong).

Also, have your finger on E to respond really fast (looking at the screen to see what is written isn't really an option, because that timeout is also quite short).

Hope this helps....
