Have this paperwhite. Freeze after upgrade like at the first picture. Try to hold power button. But no help. Steel the same. Doesn't turn on. Try this instruction (http://www.xodustech.com/guides/kind...te-demo-unlock) but it does't help. There is no any messages at the Putty.

Either in the list of your devices or written on the PW its self.
Which PW is it under warranty? Course not now that you opened the back!

Moved to the developers' forum, which is the correct place for such questions.

Do you use a TTL-level serial adapter?
Which adapter do you use?

PS: You may want to read the serial jailbreak thread within this forum.

PL2303 and CH340G both of them are TTL-level serial adapters. So strange

The guide below can be used to install the stock Kindle Paperwhite firmware for Kindles that are in Demo mode. Kindles in demo mode were used in retail stores and as newer models come out many are liquidating the old demo units. Unfortunately the demo firmware cannot be turned off by conventional means.
Dead Wrong.
To undemo a paperwhite is a set of search bar commands.
We have a thread on it (and it is part of the next jail break procedure).

You read it on the Internet, so it must be true. Correct or not Correct?

You got into trouble following their directions, ask at that forum for help getting you out.
You are not the first owner that article has gotten into trouble, they need to fix it.

@fixsss: Kindle uses afaik 1.8V. You may have damaged the chip with TTL levels on the serial port.
