It happened that my KT got into frozen state. Tried a reset first and Kindle started to reboot (boy under a tree and progress bar) but after that screen went blank and no button actions helped from that. I charged my KT over night and tried Kubrick - the only strange thing I noticed was that instead of turning green, the amber LED just turned off when - I suppose - it got fully charged.
"So time to Kubrick" I thought and that's why I'm here

I think I did everything just according the instructions:
- physical machine (oldie-but-goldie T42)
- boot Kubrick 3.6 from USB
- selected Kindle 5 (Touch)
- followed the instructions up to "Put your Kindle into USB downloader mode and now:
pressed power and hold until LED's off, simultaneously pressed and hold Home button, released power (led went on) and released Home. Nothing changed on kindle nor on screen so I pressed Next.
On the following screen "Putting device into Fastboot mode" there's "waiting for device..." and it waits forever.
Is there anything else I can do or my Kindle is dead once and for all?
Thanks in advance
