Easiest way I think is to install Rescue Pack from NiLuje Snapshots thread, then put a blank file ENABLE_DIAGS in the visible storage and restart.

Another option is to also install Coward's Rescue Pack and restart the PW4 while it is plugged in.

IIRC Rescue Pack is not compatible with PW4...

PW4 does not have diags mode anymore - your only chance (if you have FW older than 5.13.4) is to install diagnostic FW (note: this will erase normal OS, so you'll need to flash it back to operate normally).
Anyway the only way (that I know) is to follow this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=335590
