If you never uninstalled USBNet, restore the usbnet folder manually, restart, and check if enabling USBNet works. (Because depending on how messy the setup has gotten, USBNet might be our silver bullet).

I do have the ~usbNetwork command available in the ~help list, but at the moment I don't have a Linux box available, stuck on Windows with cygwin and virtual machines, which I doubt would work.
Still, I ran the command and when I plugged in the Kindle to the laptop, it got into normal usb drive mode. From what I understand, Windows should not have recognized it, because it needs a special driver, so I think the command didn't work.

I think Kubrick installs 3.3, not 3.4 but I could be easily wrong.

I had no idea this exists. Does it work as designed? I have nothing against replacing everything on the Kindle with a pristine 3.3, because that's basically what I want and it would save us a lot of work.

The system is **not suppose** to run **any** update if the battery capacity is too small.
Note: The K3 will run on non-Amazon batteries - we have a thread here on that.

The thing is, I don't read super much. On average, I guess it's been used for about half an hour a day since I've bought it in August 2011. In the last few months that's how I've used it mostly and the battery still lasts me for weeks with WiFi off, which feels the same as how it was when I bought it.
Generally I didn't use WiFi, don't have a LED light cover and just use the reader, no browsing or music listening, so the battery strain was quite low.
Besides, I used the ;dumpMessages command after trying the 3.4 update and it doesn't say anything about the battery (I saw in another thread that a user got that message), but rather said that "signature verification failed", all the time (U007, basically).
Anyway, tldr: is Kubrick a good option? Can it actually restore the Kindle to a pristine state?
