I have a PW4 here which won't boot past the 'boy under a tree' screen.

I have serial access now - and here is the output when booting normally:

https://pastebin.com/KeJhgY8R

Through the recovery menu - I can get the FAT32 partition to mount and have tried:

DO_FACTORY_RESTORE (didn't seem to do anything)
Copying the latest update to the device (applied the update, but didn't help at all)
Copying the factory image from the "Brand new PaperWhite 4 (2018) factory image JailBreaking" thread (update failed - but sounds like you can't 'downgrade' anyway).

Any more suggestions of things I can try?
