Its stuck in the Please wait a moment while your Kindle starts up.
`lsusb` shows "Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. i.MX50 SystemOnChip in RecoveryMode"
Is there anyway I can recover the device?
Follow the on-screen directions.
You can translate "a moment" as a "few days".

That is the very first thing to try, and keep it on a wall charger all of that time.
There is a chance that it is trying to re-build the filesystems on a storage device with bad blocks - a slow process.

During the next several days that you are waiting for it to recover -
go over any notes or logs you may have so you can give us more details of what you where trying to do and what you actually did.

"I broke it" does not give us much to go on.
