Hi all,
It took me less than a week to get sick of the screensaver on my brand new KT4 and I asked myself surely there must be a way to change it.
Days of research on this forum later and I thought I had it all sorted. I lined up all the downloads in order and started with the diags update to allow downgrading.
I copied it to the root of my kindle and rebooted it. It took much longer than expected to reboot, so I waited, and waited. Eventually I realised something must be wrong. I went back and double checked everything and realised my terrible mistake:
I'd accidently selected the PW4 diag instead of the KT4 diag file, and now my kindle is stuck on the boy under the tree and "Please wait a moment while your kindle starts up"
When I plug it into my computer I don't get a USB drive at all.
I spent another day hunting for unbricking options, but they all need the kindle to be placed into usb recovery mode, which involves holding the power button and then pressing the Magic key. but the KT4 doesn't have any other buttons except the power button.
Pressing the power button on the bottom turns the power LED on green for a couple of seconds and then it goes off.
Holding the power button the LED will stay on for a while, and then flash green a couple of times, then turn off for a few seconds and then it'll flash orange 5 times.
