Alright. So this is my first post here. I'm sort of new to linux.
Anyways, I have a Kindle 3 US with 3G and wifi. I got the device for free from a store, and the device was still signed in to, and had books on it. I signed out first thing, but I didn't factory reset the device, and I was stupid enough to not make any backups of the "base-us" and "us" folders. :smack: I applied the jailbreak for my model, then applied the usbNetwork hack. Then I added Kiterm, following this guide for everything.
I then got inspired to install Debian on the kindle. I tried a ton of different versions of it, then tried to find a Ubuntu Jaunty ftp dist repo, with no luck. I turned back to Debian. I used this command to copy over the debian.ext3 file over to my kindle's "base-us" directory, but ran out of space. I then deleted the "debian.ext3" file, and was like, "wait, can't I delete the '/mnt/debian' folder, too?" I then proceeded to delete the folder, COMPLETELY forgetting to unmount them.
After that point, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but something happened to cause me to want to factory reset the kindle, which I then did. The kindle got stuck on the "Please wait while your kindle starts up screen." I waited, without any results, and then put the kindle into recovery mode. Nothing was on the screen at that point, except for the factory reset option. I chose that, and the kindle rebooted back to the normal screen. And all of the books that were left there by the previous owner were gone.
First thing I did was put the device into debug mode, and run the ~help search command. I noticed the ~usbNetwork command was still in the list, so I concluded that the device still had those installed. I ran the ~usbNetwork command, and then plugged the device in, but nothing happened. I noticed Kiterm still worked at that point, and navigated to "/mnt/us" to check to see if some files (Kiterm's, the Jailbreak's, and usbNetwork's) were left over there: They weren't. I downloaded the source code for the Jailbreak and usbNetwork, and stuck the "linkjail," "extensions," and "usbnet" folders from the source to the kindle via normal usb storage. I also copied the contents of "extensions" to "usbnet," just in case. Tried to uninstall them using the *.bin uninstall files (one by one, not at once.): uninstall failed. Restarted and now Kiterm will not start. (So no terminal access now.)
This is already extremely long, but anyways:
tl;dr, usbNetwork 0.57.N and the k3g Jailbreak 0.13.N don't want to uninstall and are missing folders. How can I recover from this?
Thanks in advance.

Also, for when I do get my kindle back to functioning order, does anyone have a ext3 debian linux os file that will work on Kindle V3.4.2? :p
