I somehow managed with my stupidity to rm -r -f the /opt folder on the root of my kindle. Right now, it just seems to do nothing, it just shows "kindle" and the picture of the boy reading below the tree. I had installed the jailbreak before, but then left the kindle aside for a while, in the meanwhile it did some updates, then later I thought I'd use my kindle again. I installed the kindlet jailbreak, as the normal jailbreak was already on there, I had some outdated launcher, so I installed KUAL with lots of other stuff, including kterm. I wanted to try some stuff on my kindle, later I got ssh to use IRC on my homeserver, as I didn't know any IRC client on the kindle. Later, I found out about the optware package. I downloaded it, made myself a shrinked image right away and installed it and got it working after a while.
Due to some reason, I didn't ls in /opt/bin to see what was already there, so I tried installing gcc & libc-dev through ipkg. I didn't achieve installing gcc through ipkg, but I had managed installing libc-dev until I relalized gcc and g++ were already installed. I wanted to compile something, but it have me an uncommon error, so I thought the libc-dev I installed wasn't compatible with the already existing gcc.
That somehow lead me to thinking I messed up the loop file and wanted to reinstall it. I also stupidly thought /opt was entirely related to the loop file, even though there were some suspicious files. That lead to me deleting the opt folder, I then wanted to get a fresh loop file, I rebooted to be sure that everything'd work, yet now it clearly doesn't. I'm not stuck with something, that doesn't seem to be a bootloop, just a interrupted boot that causes my kindle to do nothing.
I also read about fastboot, I knew what fastboot could before I had my kindle, so I thought I'd reflash the system as I could do it with the androids.
I have found the images, yet I have no idea how to get my kindle into fastboot mode as I can't mount it on the PC to place a ENABLE_DIAGS file onto it. I'm not even sure if it still has diags mode, as it updated multiple times.
So I demand to you, the pros, how do I get that damn kindle into fastboot. I'd be grateful for any help...
Right now, it just looks like

The dumb thing, I instantly knew what the dumb mistake I did was. I should've been more careful, I have no deep kindle hacking knowledge :/.
Btw, I'm not sure if this the correct place for help requests is. Sorry if I posted it into the wrong forum!
Sorry if anything is not clear, not sure how to explain
