Hey guys I think I might've messed up. I made an error during jailbreaking which ended in my Kindle updating to the newest version. Afterwards I tried to downgrade my Kindle to 5.14.
When the update completed it tried to restart, but it's permanently stuck on the boot screen saying "Your kindle is restarting."

Am I completely fucked? I can't access it via USB either and holding the power button for 40 seconds does absolutely nothing. Any help?
