Hi, so, i tried the method Barty mentioned above, and got no luck making this work. Maybe i did something wrong or skipped something ? what i did was:

1. create a folder anywhere in my pc
2.create a empty file called "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" without any extension
3. create a .txt with these lines :
:A
COPY DO_FACTORY_RESTORE E:\
GOTO A
4. save the .txt as .bat
5. connect the kindle into the E: port ( i know it gets recognized as the E:/ port because i ran USBDeview to check)
6.run the program
7. connect the Kindle
8.press the reset button for 30+ seconds.

aditional data just in case: once a couple of days ago, the kindle got recognized, but when i tried to access via windows, it said something like "please insert a drive into the E:// port" (same thing as when you insert a micro-sd adapter without the SD to set an example)
