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.
Maybe if you post in the Kindle Developer's Corner, the gurus can help you reverse whatever you've done. Then maybe you'll consider paying the $20 to remove the ads. Good luck!
