From your post i guess there is no hope
And amazon may refuse to repair it and return as it is hacked kindle out of warranty ? True ?

DAMN! I just gave detailed answers to all these questions, with research and links. I answered points here and from all previous posts in this thread. I am so accustomed to using nano, that I did crtl-w to search for a "[/quote]" link, and the browser discarded ALL MY TEXT. This is NOT the first time that this has happened! Bummer!

I do not have time to answer them again. This just burned about an hour of my time on this.

Basically, what I said was: You can do everything from windows, using MfgTool, win32 fastboot, and PuTTY. The rotate hack is not compatible with firmware 5.0.1, and neither is its uninstaller. You need to download and flash the 5.0.0 main partition and kernel from the link I provided to the "simple debricking" thread. The "forensic" link at that post takes you to a page containing URLs to the files. You need to cut and paste those URLs to your web browser to download the files. This "link indirection" was done to prevent potential "link take down" notices for links to files that are critical to our successful debricking methods. You need to flash these files with a RUNME.sh script that you can find in the debricking threads (with a "dd" linux command in them) -OR- you need to use fastboot to flash diags_ssh, then exactly follow the instructions and type the linux commands into the kindle as provided in the debricking posts. You may need to zero out the /dev/mmcblk0p3 partition too (also done in various RUNME.sh scripts you can download from various posts). Then you can install the 5.1.0 update again. DO NOT install the rotate hack.
