PW2 - Booting everytime in screensaver picture

Yesterday I got the new PW2 as a replacement for my failed Kindle 2. I was not amused to see how the new Kindle is handled the collections. Also should migrate the custom screensaver images to new device as well. I'm using for manage my books Calibre.

Following I have done to cover the collection topic:
Jailbreak -> works as expected
kindle-mkk-20140214 installed -> installation goes fine
Collection Manager installed -> installation goes fine
Kindle Collection installed in Calibre -> installation goes fine

-> Collections, generated in Calibre, were imported with Collection Manager very well

Following I have done to get the custom SS back:
kindle-linkss-0.17.N installed -> installation goes fine
Old images were copied to the "linkss/screensavers" folder. RANDOM file was generated.

BUT after a hard reset and up from this time I'm getting a screensaver after the device is coming up. AND I'm not able with pressing the POWER button to get back the main screen. USB access is working. After disconnect the USB, I'm coming back to the screensaver picture again.

The progress bar is running up to the last segment, then the screensaver is displayed,

In the mean while I have reload the FW to 5.4.3.2, to 5.4.5. The device seems furthermore jailbreaked, but the result is the same.

I have cleared also the USB storage and load the FW again, same result, exceptionally to get now the standard images from the screensaver.

I'm a little bit helpless, what I can do now to get the control back.

Any ideas are welcome.

Believe it or not. It happened if the Kindle is put into the leather case, ok with a magnetic close button! If it is outside, it works properly.
