Thanks!
1) No

2) Find the "Magic Key" to put the Kpw in "downloader mode" - then KUBRICK can be extended to handle the Kpw

3) Depends on just what you intend to do to it.
If the damage done to the firmware image is restricted to that portion which the Amazon "upgrade" full images replace, they can be used to restore the device (if you can still put the image on the user storage partition).

So: Tell us how inventive you are at breaking the device, we can then guess at what your chances of fixing it is.
