Yes. You can add ENABLE_DIAGS and boot to diags, and fix it from there. Diags mode can use a variation of ixtab's jailbreak, but diags boots partition 2, so runme.sh must mount partition 1 and modify the mounted partition instead of the root partition. Or, you can push a reverse shell as suggested in an ixtab post, and fix it manually over a USB network connection.
In the future, jailbreak and repair will be much easier using USB Recovery mode (USB HID). My bricked K4 that had corrupted ID information is all fixed now using a combination of USB HID mode and the serial port. In the future, the serial port will not be needed. Read this:

When that code is complete, jailbreaking a kindle will be very like jailbreaking an iOS device.
Please do not consume Yifan Lu's time asking for personal help, or it will delay completion of this project. Thanks.
