Hello Hawhill.
Thanks for your points, you are nicely contributing to make things more clear.
What password should I put and where? How to obtain that password?
So do you mean we just rewrote the document partition? Because there's just one on the system, you are right.
Do you think Amazon would replace or fix my Kindle DXG at this stage?
Regards.

As a rule of thumb: When there's only one partition (/dev/sdX1, but no /dev/sdX2), chances are it's the document partition, *NOT* the root partition. You can also check partition sizes: The root partition is the same size as the partition image.
Note that recovery this way is not without risks. And you should really know what you're doing and why.
In fact it was news for me when stranger_st wrote that you can access the root partition without RS232 and entering password. And I still don't really believe that - except if you were using yifanlus kernel.
