I encountered the same problem, trying to jail break my kindle (with instructions by yifan.lu) so I could install new screen savers. Finally solved it: I went into USB mode from the diagnostics menu. I deleted the ENABLE_DIAGS text file I had been instructed to put in the root of the kindle and put in the RUNME.sh and data.tar.gz (files available in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=169645). I ejected (safely removed) the kindle. Then I then chose “D) Exit, Reboot or Disable Diags” then “D) Disable Diagnostics” and “Q) To continue” -- until it rebooted. The screen said runme.sh was running then returned me to my original homescreen. I deleted the runme files from the root of the kindle. The kindle is also now successful jailbroken.
