So now I'm stuck on the boot animation, I guess because it can't find the boot video. I want to restore the default theme with the 'default.sh' script via SSH, and that's the problem...

So, do I understand correctly that you have broken the UI of the device, so the device keeps displaying the spinner in the boot animation, not able to proceed to phone UI?

In that case, you really need to boot up the device in maintanance mode.
There are basically 2 ways to do that, either use the FIX_MALF mode which exports the device partitions to an external computer or use my maintanace console which allows you to telnet in the device and fix that by either correcting the problem from shell or similarily exporting the partitions to an external computer.
