Get in via the serial port, flash the diags partition and kernel via fastboot (contained in the Kubrick LiveCD) and then use SSH to flash the main partition and kernel from the diags system.

Of course, since the extra data outside the partitions was erased, you can never get that back, which makes the device... less useful. I suppose it could work just without a serial number and registration info and stuff, but the loss might stop the Kindle from booting at all. I don't know, I've never tried it.
