Kindle Touch bricked? after installing calc

[briant1234]

so today i installed the calculator tool off of the kindle touch wiki:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...ing#Calculator
i used the calculater, all was fine until i made the number too big and it went into infinity. The program then crashed, and i cant go to the home screen, or click ex. for exiting. i tried reset, magic reset. i plugged it in, and did hte magic reset, and now i wont even recognize on the comp im a total noob to ereaders. geekmaster help?

EDIT: i ran mfg tool, didnt know what i was doing, and i clicked start and got the kindle to boot into diag mode. now i tried to disable diagnostics, and foundthat device_info.xml wasnt found. i remember this bug fromthe first time i tried to jailbreak the kindle using data.tar.gz method, and now how do i get it to go out of diag mode?

EDIT2: so i managed to get it to exit diags thru device settings, testing now

EDIT3: SUCESS sorry for the thread mods delete please

WARNING: DONT USE THE CALC FOR LARGE OPERATIONS!

What "magic reset"? Do you mean that you put it into USB Downloader mode? Or what?

You can create the missing files needed to exit diags by running the first diag on the main menu. Or you can use MfgTool to reboot to another mode.

You may need to charge your kindle with a wall charger if it has been in diags mode for awhile (no sleep or screensaver mode in diags).

EDIT: I see from your new edit that you got it working. A calculator infinite loop could discharge the battery, if that was your problem.

The battery wasnt drained, as you know how the screen flashs when you reset the device, or connect it to the computer? the screen flashed, like it was ok, but it was locked into the calculater screen with the infinite loop. i dont really know why O.o
