PW4 Kindle 10th gen bricked

Aredu0 · 03-01-2025, 08:38 AM

Hello,

I jailbroken my Kindle Paperwhite 10th generation with Winterbreak and everything went well.
I then wanted to host a website, I deleted files that I shouldn't have, and when I restarted my Kindle, it remains stuck on the screen with the tree.
I tried to hold down the power button for a long time, the screen goes white then it displays the tree again.
When I plug it into a computer, it doesn't display anything.

When I do something to display the "Low battery" screen, it is displayed in the device manager but with a space of 0MB.
I can't mount it on Linux too.

Thanks for your help.

Did you change some of the system files? (e.g. outside /mnt/us)

Anyway, if it's stuck before it can be mounted on a PC, I'm afraid there's not much you can do. There's no way to access a bootloader (like some Android phones do), and/or reinitialize/reflash the device.
