You may need to debrick it using the internal serial port, now that you erased fastboot protocol from your kindle. You will need to open your kindle and solder to the serial port pads on the PCB. You will also need to use a 1.8v serial adapter.
And you will have some learning to do. And learning what not to do. |

Eureka did make a bootable fastboot bin, right? Works even on completely erased mmcs?
https://github.com/aditya3098/imx_usb_loader has it my default "Fastbootserver" |

Yes, you can repair a completely erased kindle 4 or newer by using imx_usb_loader or MfgTool to send this custom u-boot image with fastboot protocol built-in (crafted by Eureka) to the Kindle over the USB cable. That will boot the kindle directly into fastboot mode, so you can use the fastboot tool to flash debricking repair images to the Kindle. I will need to download the fastboot u-boot image and include it into the MfgTool package in the select boot thread when I get around to it. EDIT: With this valuable addition to our debricking repair tools, you can repair a completely erased kindle without opening it or using its serial port. Thanks Eureka!

For information about what to do next, check out the "small debricking guide for noobs". You can find it in the simple debricking sticky thread first post, or in the index wikis. This "noobs guide" is a smaller simpler step-by-step version of information from the debricking threads, put together and maintained by silver18.

Hmm... sorry, but what is your problem now?
You have imx_usb_loader working, which can boot your kindle into any mode that you want. You also got fastboot working. In other words: you have complete control over your Kindle, whichever state it is in. If I understand your question correctly, you only have to boot into diags mode (using imx_usb_loader), and to follow the other directions in the debrick guide. |

I think that the "fastboot eraseall" function needs an icon:

Thank you guys! I realy glad...
But i guess my kindle is realy dead hardware. I tried several times flash the files to my kindle using the imx_usb but it fail... Only simple commands works like "./fastboot eraseall" The i connect my kindle in a PC with Win XP and the kindle was recognized was a HID but soon it was auto desconected drive (is like my kindle auto shutdown)... |

Probably not hardware failure. The behavior you described is consistent with bricked firmware. It can probably be debricked, if you get the tools installed correctly and use the right procedures.
