Hi there,

I would need some little help for my bricked k4nt.

I'm following the "Guide to debricking Kindle Touch V4.pdf" and just at the beginning I have the same problem as Deathknight in this thread:
I plug it and restart it with magic touch and power button stuff, but it doesn't appear as an HID in device manger. In MfgTool it is actually recognized as a "Kindle Internal Storage USB Device" and not as an "HID-Compliant Device". So MfgTool does nothing and I can't go further.
(If I press start in MfgTool, "Monitoring..." -> "MX50 Kindle", and "Kindle Internal Storage USB Device" -> "Unrecognized device")

I tried on 2 xp machines, one under osx + virtual box, and one which is a regular pc.

I followed the answer of cscat and geekmaster about reading the threads, but can't found answers. I also followed geekmaster's link to download hid driver, but found nothing too.

It's either a very simple problem and I'm totally missing something, or I'm very stupid, or it's a particular problem.
Whatever from the 3, I'm now stuck...

thanks!
