Unhappy Help me unbrick my KT4

I bought Kindle 10th gen in my local store (Ukraine) and it is not official. I bricked it and it is not a warranty case.

I thought this is PW4, because of the name and used this guide https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=335590, but it turned out that this is separate kids version.
It stuck on "Please wait a moment while your Kindle starts up." screen after "Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Update Your Kindle". I tried to hold down power button and many guides from internet but it seems like button/usb plugging techniques are not working here.

Is there a utility to reinstall the firmware on this device? If I did not unplug it in the middle of installation, maybe it is not bricked forever and can be saved?

Serial number G090VB

Thanks for your attention.

Your device is permanently bricked, there's literally nothing that you can do to fix it.

could somebody delete my post? I want to try to return it as a warranty case and I don't want that somebody from service center to find it.
