PLEASE HELP: Kindle stuck at screensaver

potterandy96 · 01-04-2025, 09:22 PM

I have a scribe on v16.2.x and I typed enter_demo; in the search bar and rebooted. Now when I type in my passcode I just get a blank screensaver screen. I can hit the power button and it locks, and I re-enter my passcode and get the same thing again and again. This is all I can get and I can't get it to recognize as an MTP device either. I saw some "secret gesture" where you tap with two fingers in the bottom right then swipe right to left but that doesn't seem to work. Please advise how I can fix this, idc if I need to factory reset. Thank you.

Quick update in case someone else encounters this... seems the only way I could resolve it was a factory reset. Enter 111222777 at the pin screen to do this.
