Hi all,

I managed to brick my Kindle DX Graphite by updating some libraries manually over SSH (tried to get wget running). Now its stuck in a reboot loop. I can get into recovery mode by pressing 'Home' but I'm unable to find a suitable firmware image to flash because I was presumptuous enough not to make a backup myself.

I couldn't find an image anywhere (link on pastebin is 'removed on request') so any help on getting my Kindle back up would be greatly appreciated.
The only thing that needs 'repairment' are some of the OS' libraries, so there's no need to flasth the boot manager or kernel or anything. I can organize a serial adapter if this is necessary, but I still have access to the normal document partition via USB and I think it lets me apply software updates trough the recovery mode.

Cheers,
iliis
