I got brick

Kindle Scribe - 5.16.10.0.1 with free space of 0.28 GB (296.5 MB) to make sure that it can't download an OTA update on the device.
Software:
* WinterBreak 1.3.0 - https://github.com/KindleModding/Win...erBreak.tar.gz
* Universal Hotfix 1.4.0 - https://github.com/KindleModding/Hot..._universal.bin

Steps
Spoiler:
1. MacOS Finder. Press Command + Shift + Dot to show hidden folders.
2. Extract WinterBreak-1.3.0.tar.gz on Mac
3. Turn on Airplane mode on Kindle Scribe
4. Copy the following from extracted ./WinterBreak folder into the Kindle
- .active_content_sandbox/store/resource/cachedResources/index.html
- apps/**
- jb.sh
- mesquito/**
- patchedUks.sqsh
5. Eject the Kindle from Mac
6. Reboot the Kindle
7. Press the 'Shopping Cart' icon to open the Kindle Store on Kindle Scribe
8. When prompted, click 'Yes' to turn off Airplane mode.
9. On "Mesquito", click on the 'WinterBreak' icon
10. (The image and font were so small, I can't read and I didn't take photo.)
11. Copy Update_hotfix_universal-1.4.0.bin into the Kindle
12. Eject and unplug
13. Kindle, go to Settings > ... > Update your Kindle


After it reboot, I got "Collecting Debug Info" for kfxreader, and it kept coming up. I can't open any books. When it connected to Mac, I saw only dump files and a system folder. Nothing else, no Documents/Fonts folders, and reported available space was around 500 MB.

(I suspect that key file might be corrupted.)

Then I did the factor reset, and then it stuck in boot loop. Can't connect to Mac.
