KT2 Bricked Kindle Basic (2014)

Hello

I bricked my kindle. All what I did was... deleting /bin folder on root. :smack: It's a long story. Pretty stupid anyway, huh? Kindle worked for some time after this incident, so I tried to ssh into it. I had a back up, so I thought that maybe I will be able to copy contents from /bin on backup to /bin on my kindle. But instead I connected to it normally and it froze on usb screen (it was happening to me a couple of times before). I could only restart it (turn off screen/restart window showed up after pressing power for longer time, so it wasn't completly stuck). Anyway.

Now it's stuck on boot screen with tree, without progress bar. Completly stuck, no auto reboots or things like that.

I looked up this forum, but I'm not in 100% sure what to do. I charged it for about 2 days, led is still orange, but I heard that is normal. I tried DO_FACTORY_RESTORE metod, but kindle doesn't want to show up as usb drive, no matter if I'm connecting it to linux (both VM and installed on real machine) or windows (maybe I dont't have proper drivers). I had Crowards Rescue Pack installed (even rescued my kindle once thanks to it), but this time kindle just doesn't want to boot into diagnostic menu. I don't know how to do a fastboot on KT2, I couldn't find any info.
Does it mean that I will have to open my kindle, and try to restore it via ttl and uboot? Is there any hope for it?

Thanks anyway.

Sorry for my grammar, I tried.
