Because the "magic" key is wired directly to the CPU, it MUST go to USB Downloader mode regardless of mmc contents, unless there is a hardware problem. Remember that a bricked kindle may completely discharge the battery beyond what is normally considered healthy for the battery, which might interfere with USB Downloader mode until it gets enough charge.

Ok, did not fully charge it for 2 weeks, it might not have been charged at all during tests . Might try that as well as glueing the Vol- somehow down...
Maybe should try also a Linux/Wine combination in order to check if it works from there.
