Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I did something something really stupid. I replaced the /usr/bin/mesquitecp with an edited version hoping to download PDFs from browser.(I have a backup).

After restarting, now the device is stuck in a bootloop that runs about 4 times before going to te "Repair Needed" screen. I can access the device in mass storage mode for ~30 seconds.

The PW2 was running FW: 5.4.2. I had installed Jailbreak, KUL, KTERM and usbnetworking.

I tried activating the 'auto' mode of usbnetworing but it gives the error message :
"N E failed to set usb0 ip, this is bad"
in the loading screen (tree with progressbar). And ssh gives a "Connection refused" error.

I also tried to use ixtab's RUNME.sh method with this script

Spoiler:

But as it seems, that method doesn't work with PW2.

Is there any working methods to run a script in a jailbroken kindle paperwhite 2 when booting?
usbnetwork script seems to run automatically.Is there any way to edit a file and in usbnetworking to inject/run my (fixing)script ?

Please help me

Thanks in advance
