My thoughts — it's not a problem, just need to reinstall it. BUT! When I connected device to computer, windows showed a sign: "you need to format disk before using"
Kindle's disk usage show me strange digits about free space — looks like disk near full while it's not true.
I decide to reset Kindle but it stuck on splash screen "splash jb".
Disk is also not accessible — "you need to format… etc."

Can anyone give me advice how to fix this issue?


I have the exact same problem on a PW5 Signature Edition, that was on 5.13.6 (if I recall correctly) that was not jailbroken previously.
After a reset, it is now stuck during boot with a "*** SQUASH JB ***" message on screen, won't advance and is soft bricked.
There is also no way to put recovery files since the drive is not available when plugging the kindle to a computer.
I've tried to force a reboot via a power button hold, but same story.

Anyone would have an idea on how to fix it?
