Hello everyone,

I'm in quite a situation

I recently won a pocket edge on ebay and updated to ermine, used z4root, tried to get google apps to work (market gives server error, most likely I tried to put gtalkservices jar/odex from different device) but two days ago I started it up, and I would wait and I would get only three dots and the e ink would flash black to white for a bout a minute and then not respond. I tried the reset/shut off with a paperclip and the screen would show up as Initializing and immediatly shut off. I tried to downgrade but the MENU + ROTATE at startup gets no response, continues to try and boot up and freeze at three dots, and the strangest thing so far is that the logo is minimized to a quarter of the screen and when the blinking cursor goes away the logo is not only on 1/4 of the screen, it is now backwards/flipped/mirrored aka the text is weird.

also debugging was enabled long before this and now adb in windows shows the device as offline. I cannot push files or get into shell this way.

Any ideas on how badly I borked/goofed this up?
