KV Stuck on "System Diags" Screen

A few days ago, I decided to turn on my kindle to have a nice read but, unfortunately, since I had not used it for weeks/months since I jailbroke it on v5.7.3 firmware, I could not turn it on (it had that screen where it tells you to plug it and and charge it)--so I charged it, for a while (not long enough apparently, as I noticed that it was on a screen that read "ICE-WARIO-512 - System Diags....." with a bunch of options underneath it).

None of the options were functional initially, so I assumed that I had not charged it enough and let it charge overnight. But even after charging it (more than) fully, my Kindle Voyage was/is still stuck on the screen "ICE-WARIO-512 -System Diags". This time, however, the options were functional--if I pressed an option, it did work.

Logically, I pressed "(o) - Reboot or Disable Diags" and then "(EXIT DISABLE)-Disable Diagnostics" which I assumed would lead me out of this screen and boot my kindle device--but instead, it brought me to a screen showing "device_info.xml not found (Run Device Setting.)"

So I went back and pressed the option "(DS INFO) - Device Setting" and tried again with no luck. So I pressed the "(o) - Reboot or Disable Diags" again and this time tried "(EXIT REBOOT) - Reboot System", but this option merely lead me to a screen that said "Diags exit Please use serial port" and showed the kindle boot logo (but no loading bar underneath it strangely) which flashed and returned to original "ICE-WARIO-512 - System Diags" screen. I also tried the option "(EXIT LOGIN)-Exit to Login Prompt" which lead me to the same results as the reboot option. I also tried holding the power button on the back of my device for a minute, but still I ended up at the System Diags screen. I did all of the above with my device unplugged completely, plugged into the wall, and plugged into my laptop--no difference at all between whether or not it was plugged in.

Finally, I decided to try out the options "(USB EXPORT)-USB device mode" (under the main screen of System Diags) and "(USB DOWNLOAD)-USB Bundle Install" (under the menu for "(o)"-Reboot or Disable Diags), which turned out both to be the same thing--for both allowed me to access the filesystem of the device on the laptop. I noticed that instead of the "("Drive Letter:") Kindle" device I had normally seen on my Windows 10 laptop, I got instead a "("Drive Letter:") USB Drive" popup. Nonetheless I don't have a clue what to do from here. I don't know if my device is bricked, or if it's because I had installed Coward's Rescue Pack/Rescue Pack from NiJule's Snapshots, or because I hadn't used my device for so long and an update did something weird, or whatever. If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it, as I really want to use my device and don't think I could buy another jailbroken Kindle Voyage (as I'm aware that only firmware v5.7.3 is jailbreakable). Thanks.
