I don't understand the next step that runs fastboot.win.public there are some .dos files that canīt work correctly I suppose. Also in the report from Poetcop mentioned that uses Linux, what version recommends to install in mac osx (virtual box) and how I can run ssh file
I marked with blackie the steps that I don't understand, and what exactly is the definition of ssh and how to work with linux (which version) to restore my kindle touch. Excuse me for my ignorance, I donīt really know much of system or this process, I beg if can explain in more details some terms and steps to follow. At this moment I only can get the kindle in fasboot mode the same as the images from this post

If you want to fix your device with fastboot, first you need to boot to fastboot mode. It can be made from diag mode over "Fastboot mode install", or over Recovery mode with Mfgtool. (
more info here)
As geekmaster said, by "Linux" is mere meant Linux inside Kindle.
As I understand, you have emulated Windows XP on your Mac.
About these
DOS files. These are
NOT DOS, it's just console applications and it fully run under Windows.
Following instructions are for Windows.
Before you run fastboot, you need to install drivers. It's a little bit tricky, because I don't know, if original fastboot drivers works with Touch model.
I recommend you to download
libusb-win32 here, follow instructions
here.
Then extract fastboot_win_public.zip to some directory in Windows even with source code. Go to source folder and doubleclick to "cmd.bat". Command prompt should appear.
Type
Code:
cd ..
fastboot.exe getvar bootmode
If drivers works, bootmode will show. If drivers doesn't work, <waiting for device> show.In this case interrupt it with Ctrl+C.
If drivers didn't work, install drivers with
geekmaster's custom inf and try run fastboot again.
You can't write main partition from fastboot, only diags (for example the version with SSH).
I hope I didn't confused you. Just read existing instructions on forum, and ask if you didn't understand something.
