Koreader crash, not recognized by PC anymore

[mistyk]

Hi, this is very strange, here's the situation: I was reading a book using koreader in a kt4 like I've been doing for a couple of years now, then all of the sudden the brightness of the screen goes to maximum I press the power the button for no good reason and the screen goes off like it normally does but when I hit it back It does not turn on, after a couple of tries I decide to press the power button for 40 seconds and reset the kindle, after the reboot everything seems fine except that the PC doesn't detect it as a usb device anymore.

I know usb does not work while koreader is on, I'm trying to figure out what happened because I think maybe something got "stuck" in the configuration since koreader didn't exit cleanly and maybe that's what is keeping the pc from recognizing the kindle? I'm at a lost here, any ideas are welcome, and yes before you ask it's not the cable(s).

Did you have SSH server turned on in KOReader?

I did not, I didn't even knew it had that option. I do have kterm installed.

New information, the Kindle now discharges really fast, it lost 20% battery overnight. It was fine up until this happened.

Even more info: the Kindle feels warm without being used and keeps draining the battery really fast.

Do the command “htop” in the terminal (no quotes) and see what processes have high the CPU usage

Ah... I wish I have read your post before I did a reset on the kindle, after the reset I don't have kual anymore, and it still isn't detected by a PC. I guess I'm doom.

factory reset is the only option, to my knowledge.
I had this issue too, and that's waht i did.
Though check your firmware version.

Make sure you restore JB before you do anything else though!

You never ever reset a Kindle to back off a jailbreak. What you need to do is install non-jailbroken firmware to replace what you are running.

I can't sadly, what started all this is that is not recognized by a computer.

Yes but the kindle was not recognized by a PC, so I didn't have many options. My problem is that I cannot flash anything to it, but running htop may have thrown a clue, now the kindle discharges really fast and it's still not recognized by a PC after the reset. Other than that "works as intended" but the firmware upgrade option is grayed out also, that was probably because I had the noOta package so the jailbreak is still there, I never thought I rather don't have a JB lol.
