[Help] Kindle stuck in a boot loop. Battery died during a forced factory reset. Is it

[oleksandrudakov]

I purchased a second-hand Kindle Scribe. It arrived with a completely drained battery, so I had to wait in the post office for it to charge a little bit - just enough to check if it's blacklisted or not. And so, once it turned on, I checked it by signing into my account - everything was fine, the device was WORKING perfectly.

Then, due to a temporary (ten-minute delay) payment issue, the post office staff (apparently worried that I couldn't pay, assuming they'd have to send it back) demanded that I do the factory reset. So I did, and, as it turned out, that was a fatal mistake. I assume that the battery died during the reset. Now, when I unpacked the Kindle at home and charged it up a bit, the device went into a constant 15-second reboot loop (the tree logo is on display, then the brightness dims for a second, and then it glows up again). I browsed the internet and nothing ffs works:

1) It was on a 30W charger for 14 hours already, and the LED lamp now glows green, but nothing's changed

2) The 40-second manual reset doesn't help either (neither before nor after fully charged).

3) My PC doesn't see it (even tried "dmesg -w" (yeah, I'm on Linux)) - can't put the DO_FACTORY_RESTORE file there
