Troubleshooting Kindle paperwhite stuck in loading loop

IB.Hai · 07-24-2018, 05:47 PM

Hi guys,
Just got a kindle paperwhite 3 with special offer ads couple days ago. I was able to successfully jailbreaken the the device and got rid off special offer by replaced the .assets folder with a .txt file. Also I installed custom screensaver with KUAL, after I put a custom wallpaper into the screensaver folder, then changed the screensaver settings in KUAL to randomized, after a reboot my device stuck on the loading screen with the little text on the bottom says “ randomizing screensaver” the progress bar does move till about 80% then the screen will flash and reboot again and back the the same loading screen and it’s doing it endlessly. I did drained the battery and recharged but it did not help . I also tried holding down the power button about a minute hoping it would give me a factor reset menu or some sort, but no luck. Plugged into the computer it does get recognized by the pc but the kindle drive cannot be open is just grey out.

If anyone had a similar issue before please let me know the solution.

Thanks all!

Well IF this was a Kindle NOT JB I suggest you Turn it OFF. Wait a few mins turn it Back on.
