so today i installed the calculator tool off of the kindle touch wiki:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...ing#Calculator
i used the calculater, all was fine until i made the number too big and it went into infinity. The program then crashed, and i cant go to the home screen, or click ex. for exiting. i tried reset, magic reset. i plugged it in, and did hte magic reset, and now i wont even recognize on the comp

im a total noob to ereaders. geekmaster help?

EDIT: i ran mfg tool, didnt know what i was doing, and i clicked start and got the kindle to boot into diag mode. now i tried to disable diagnostics, and foundthat device_info.xml wasnt found. i remember this bug fromthe first time i tried to jailbreak the kindle using data.tar.gz method, and now how do i get it to go out of diag mode?

EDIT2: so i managed to get it to exit diags thru device settings, testing now

EDIT3: SUCESS sorry for the thread mods delete please

WARNING: DONT USE THE CALC FOR LARGE OPERATIONS!
