Getting shell access from linux would go something like:
* Connect your kindle as a usb mass storage device
* touch ENABLE_DIAGS in the device's root
* reboot the kindle through the setting menu's menu
* you're now in diags mode
* connect your kindle and computer using the usb cable (nothing should happen)
* in the menu, enable usb networking (Misc individual diagnostics > Utilities > Enable USBnet)
* the kindle should now register as a usb ethernet device (relevant messages should appear in /var/log/syslog )
* on your computer configure the ip address on that device: ip addr add 192.168.15.241/24 dev usb0
* use ssh to connect to the kindle: ssh root@192.168.15.244
* the password should be "mario". If mario doesn't work, use the python script mentionned in the previous post to generate the password from your serial number.
This is just a long version of

Btw, note that "FW" in diagnostics mode refers to the "Five Way" controller, aka the direction/ok pad.
