Stuck in Diags mode

Hello All,

I have been trying to jailbreak my Kindle KT2 and downgrade the firmware to a previous version. It looks like I skipped one of the necessary steps and now I am stuck in Diags mode.

As background: I successfully jailbroke the Kindle, installed "hotfix," installed Mobile Read Package Installer and KUAL, and installed Cowards Rescue Pack using the previous two.

Then I copied the rootfs.img.gz and the uImage files of the previous firmware version I am trying to downgrade to onto the Kindle's root directory, and then restarted the Kindle.

This landed me in Diags mode, as it evidently should. However, it turns out that I needed to have installed USB networking beforehand so that I can access the Kindle via SSH using my PC. When I click on the menu item "USBnet" in Diags mode nothing happens, evidently because the USB networking has not been installed.

I have now downloaded the USB networking package, but apparently I need to install it using Mobile Read Package Installer via KUAL, which I don't have access to in Diags mode.

Does anyone know how I can get out of Diags mode and back to the normal Kindle interface so I can use KUAL? "Reboot" just brings me back to Diags mode, and with "Disable Diags" I get the message

device_info.xml not found
(Run Device Setting.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
