Hi all,

I've got my Paperwhite with Special Offers today. I was stupidly trying to disable ads on it by create .assets file within /system folder. When I restarted the Kindle, it booted up with "Repair Needed" screen. I think I need to remove /system/.assets file and then do "echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui. My question is:

1) Is it possible to mount the Kindle as USB storage before "Repair Needed" message is displayed?
2) Can I modify the content of lab126_gui in USB storage mode?

Thanks.
