My Kindle Paperwhite 3 has just bricked when I modified the /etc/upstart/functions file, when I restart the Kindle, I found it was bricked.
Can I rescue the bricked Kindle Paperwhite 3 without serial port, just by using the USB port to flash the rootfs image to the Kindle?
By the way, is it possible to ask Amazon's customer support to change a new one? I just got this Kindle for less than a week.
