Thank you! I was going to try that as the last resort, I've seen it mentioned with different models and was unsure if it applies to my model. Still, I'm interested in understanding better what could have happened here and what other options do I have, specially ones that don't erase my library. I'm new to jailbreaking and kindles altogether, but have a good familiarity with linux systems, maybe understanding a little better things surrounding my model, its unique jb limitations and the situation in general will help me in the future also (for instance, when reinstalling JB, what I shouldn't do again, which of those edits caused the brick or if I missed a step that should have been done when editing filesystem files by ssh)
