And that can be fixed (from the serial port) -
Put it into the 'diags' system, put a known good copy of the KV, 5.8.9.2 update on the drive, then trigger the install.
('Main' will not re-install the current version (or older) but diags will.)

* Just like our update_*.bin packages here are model locked.
Same package type and same package updater (we use the system one Amazon provides for their own use).

(It is also very likely much faster than their's.)
Hey, it sounds great! Thank you knc1! But now my PC can't recognize this kindle, how can I put it into the 'diags' system?

My PC is running windows 10 64bit, I got the Serial Number of this KV and I have putty already.

Thanks!
