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.
For just $ 20 you could have just removed the Special Offers at the "Manage Your Device" site at Amazon.

The labor hours you are now investing are probably worth far more than $ 20 and may not work in the end anyway.
