Well, the problem is that I still do not know exactly what "recovery mode" is.
As a matter of fact I was able to login to the device using a terminal emulator when I had your recovery package (the folder "OS firmware") installed on the external SD card. But from the documentation in the Wiki I had the impression I could boot into "recovery mode" also without your code installed on the SD card, therefore I also do not know what you mean by "proper SD card"
BTW: your recovery package came in handy
. After syncing all my books with Calibre (I let it run over night), the reader crashed for some reasons. In the morning the battery of the reader was completely empty and the installation was corrupted: The pre-installed photos were missing and also apps that I installed were missing, others crashed with an error message. So I reflashed the device to its original state (which took quite a while, I really got nervous) and re-rooted again (rupor minimal root and Apps2SD). After that I made also an image of the rooted device with all apps installed, so that I can reflash to the rooted state, in case the device crashes again.

BTW: I was also able to get ADB to work, so I could apply the changes to the device (ad-hoc networks and firewall). The connection to ad-hoc networks is possible now (tested with JoikuSpot on my N8), but I wasn't able to connect with SSH to the device, although I enabled all incoming connections (DroidSSHd installed). I haven't had any time between family and work to investigate what the problem could be ...
Thanks again for the effort you guys put into this forum and for making the Reader a really good device ...
