Your right sick, I removed the files, thanks for the warning. I always flash the ramdisk directly without the ebook_msc/do_update.sh stuff, my fault. However I tried the script once with my ramdisk and it didnt brick the reader, I guess I was just lucky.

Anyway everybody who "bricked" his device should be able to recover it easily with the "sd-rescue" package https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=20. Because only the ramdisk is corrupted the diag/recovery partition is still fine.

[EDIT]
Damn I guess i hard bricked my device, I made a copy paste error and flashed the ramdisk over the device without any seek, count parameters, so I overwrite the normal boot environment and the diag partition, f**** anybody any ideas?

I guess only a JTAG/serial connector can recover it.
