K5 Paperwhite stuck at update error 3 screen

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I was reading a book in my old PW (1st gen, WIFI), having a good time, when disaster happened…

I changed the fonts a couple of times (from the menu Font), kept reading a couple of minutes and something went terrible wrong. The Kindle rebooted itself and I was welcomed with an error screen: the update error: 3.

The problem is that now Im stuck there. If i keep the power button pressed, it goes to a white screen, black screen, tries to update like for half a second, and end up in the update error 3 screen again. The PW is not recognised under MacOsX, Windows XP or Win 7 via USB.

I was jailbroken, 5.3.5 firmware (I think), rescue pack installed, usbnet (dont know what is it and never used it), koreader and a couple of hacks (kual, backdoor lock, bbb, screensavers, fonts, etc, nothing too weird).

Didn’t do any advanced action like messing with partitions, boot sector sor anything like that, because I am a newbie. Only reading with stock os or Koreader, a couple of custom fonts and screensavers and thats it. Wifi was off, backdoor activated, partial folder trick to prevent silent updates, and didnt try to update anything.

The only risky thing I can think of is that I used to have Duokan 2014 installed, which I uninstalled with the option given by that evil OS (Koreader is way better!!!) 10 minutes before my Kindle decided to go to the limbo…

Am I screwed? Is there any solution? Any help or advice would be highly appreciated and thanks in advance!!!!

PS: sorry for my English!
PS2: I did a lot of googling and tried really hard to search the forum, but couldnt find a solution (probably because of my lack of knowledge).
