I accidentally screwed up the start.sh script which starts the main Kindle app. The script is written in such a way that it tries to restart the app a few times then reboots. After a few reboots I get the "Your Kindle Needs Repair" screen.

I have the correct copy of the file and all I need is copy it over to correct my mistake but I can no longer get into the USB shell. Is there a way I can enable usbNetwork while in recovery mode or something like that?

I don't have the anti-brick hack (alas).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
