I tried with count=1K option, still the same.

There are some new observations. In fastboot mode, "fastboot reboot" or "fastboot continue" will not boot the Touch, but "fastboot boot main.bin" can bring it on, where main.bin is grabbed from Profile folder of KindleSelectBoot tool.

I dont have much knowledge about boot sequence but looks like something corrupts within the chain, after fastboot and before system in mmcblk0p1 is loaded. If there is some part in Touch do similar job as main.bin, I guess the part is suspicious. Is there a way to re-flash the part?
