Kindle 4 Upgrade Attempt to 4.1 failure and now not working #noobfail

Hoping someone out there has some insights or help on what I can do to get my kindle 4 up and running again. I had the simple screensaver hack using data.tar.gz and RUNME.sh running 4.0 for few months and it has worked great (minus it restarting when wifi was turned on and saying that the software update was unsuccessful). I paid it no mind for the most part but today I read about the 4.1 update and really wanted the update because of the supposed better font crispness so tried to uninstall but that didn't work. Tried a reinstall and that failed too. I deleted some files and now it turns on just fine, says its registered to me but shows nothing but the archive folder when i put it to sleep, the screen is blank and no screensavers. I plugged it in to see what's on the Kindle ('documents' folder, DON'T_HALT_ON_REPAIR, driveinfo.calibre. metadata.calibre, and 'screensaver' folder). I have about 50 books in the documents but none show up when i unplug from my mac.

I've been running through threads the past few hours but dont' know where to go. Do i do the simple debricking method even though it still turns on and allows me to turn of wifi, restart, etc? Is it a matter of placing missing files on my K4? Admittedly, went noobcrazy and funked my kindle all up. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
