That is the problem. You can't really access it unless you get a full shell somehow.

That's probably because you don't have the SSH-enabled diags partition. You can get an image with built-in SSH from http://gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/kindle/touch/forensic/ (either *p2.img is ok). The only problem now is that you can't easily update the partition (If you had a running main partition, you could just dd it.)

So the easiest way is probably to flash that diags partition.

There *might* be an alternative: re-apply the jailbreak as described here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind....tar.gz_method
It still supports a /mnt/us/runme.sh.

You could probably create a runme.sh which simply replaces the init.xargs with a pristine copy, and removes the gui_restarts thingy. (It would be a subset of the commands in my above post). I haven't tested this, though.

Either way, I strongly recommend installing the SSH-enabled diags partition as soon as you can, as it's a real lifesaver. I de-bricked my device in 5 minutes with it...
