Kindle touch briced after update to 5.0.3

My kindle touch bricked after update to 5.0.3. It now stuck at boot screen and soon windows find an "unknown device". How can I do now?

Mfgtool.exe can boot into diags and fastboot, but it cannot boot into main.
I recovered mmcblk0p1.img and cleared /var/local but it's no use at all.

How did you "recover" mmcblk0p1? You cannot do that from fastboot (it is too big). You can boot to diags use a RUNME.sh script, or you can use fastboot to flash mmcblk0p2_ssh.img to diags and use an SSH shell, then copy mmcblk0p1.img to /dev/mmcblk0p1 (from RUNME.sh or at an SSH shell).

See these other threads for details:

If you still cannot boot, your /var/local partition may be full (from too many books in the collections database).

You can reset the /var/local partition with:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 bs=4K


If you do not want to lose your collections database, you may want to copy it from /var/local to /mnt/us first.

I cleared /var/local. But it's no use. I think my kernel is broken.

There are main and diags kernels that you can flash with fastboot.

I will be busy for the next few days. Perhaps somebody here can provide a link to a main system linux kernel image (extracted from a backup of the first 32MB of /dev/mmcblk0, at offset 0x41000 as I recall -- and the length is in the flash header at the beginning of the kernel image).
