That's why I kept asking if he followed the directions. The first step is to run prepare-kindle.bin. This creates a backup and flashes an anti-brick protection into the kernel. It doesn't touch any files, so this step alone can't brick the kindle. He states that he doesn't have a backup, which leads me to believe he proceeded without completing or doing the prepare-kindle step.
And before you accuse me of not testing. I had 5 private testers and a month of public testing. In addition, there were more than 50 reports of success (the poll is inaccurate). This was the only report of failure and I'm not even sure the updater is the cause of it.
