Hi, folks!

I've applied jailbreak to my Kindle 4 NT as described in this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=240, I also installed localized firmware update.

The device has been working for a few days with no problems. Then at some point it didn't turn on. After trying and leaving it for a while, it turned on again. After couple days the problem returned. Now it cannot turn on, I also don't see it as USB host. Nevertheless, it appears as USB HID in the Windows Device Manager.

I've read that it's possible to connect to Kindle using such mode, but have no idea how to do it and how to restore the firmware or whatever's needed to bring it back to life.

I will appreciate any help. Thanks!
