Kindle 4.1.1 non-touch was stuck in a diagnostic mode. It wouldn't leave it. Sometimes it would let me poke around in diag mode other times it would freeze. The Kubrick fixed this.
Reason:
I watched a YT video were it said to copy the file called "DONT_HALT_ON_REPAIR" and rename it something to the effect of "ENABLE_DIAG". That caused my problem.

Not a problem, the machine was doing exactly what you told it to do (by the presence of the "ENABLE_DIAG" mode file).
While in "diag mode" you could have wandered around until you hit the "export USB storage" selection -
selected that -
connected the USB cable to a PC -
then deleted the offending "ENABLE_DIAG" mode file.
That should have allowed you to reboot into normal operation.

So you wanted to know if it works. Well I thought it didn't at first but then it did.
Problems I had with Kubrick at the begining:
- at my win 7 work PC, I used LiLI to make a bootable USB of Kubrick. Kubrick froze on boot saying something about checking for CD and not finding or something.
- same thing at home on my Linux Mint 16 laptop

Reads as if you missed the second part of the USB stick creation directions.
It is a two part process:
* Create the bootable stick.
* Add the Kubrick image to the just created bootable stick.

Glad to hear that you found a combination that worked for that portion of the directions which you followed.
