Does uboot support USB HID mode? How do you get it into fastboot mode?

Another possibility would be to rebuild /mnt/us using uboot menu, then export it and stick an official amazon firmware image on it. Then use uboot menu to install the firmware package. You would need a full update (not differential) and signed with the amazon key (i.e. "official").

Unfortunately, you can only download firmware for every kindle model EXCEPT the touch:

EDIT: After looking at the available firmware updates above, I see that my v4.0 K4NT can be updated to v4.0.1. Are there any benefits in NOT updating my firmware?
