Probably not possible, given platform restrictions. I only used this a few times, mostly to get updates onto a Kindle.

With one of those times, the update bricked a Voyage I had at the time. Not sure this provenance was a factor. But I regret not trying harder to unbrick. I think it had stopped mounting on USB. But easy to remove the back and maybe there's some hard reset possible in there.

I worked at LG and we were working on a webOS smart watch prototype at the time (never shipped). When it got bricked you could go in and short out a couple of contacts to get it going again.
