You need to connect the black wire to GND, the orange wire to RxD, and the yellow to TxD.
I have been able at least to determine what my Kindle is doing. For some reason it is caught in a loop respawning xorg.conf.

Thank you very much now I understand where and how to connect the cable!
Another thing: If I understand correctly the cable 1.8v TTL to USB has an electronic circuit for communicate the PC with the Kindle through the RS232 interface(com ports). Is a way to have a serial port on a PC that does not. But this is not necessary if you got a serial port in your pc. Now if you have it you can use the next connector:
DB9 connector:

This means I can build a cable with a DB9 (serial port connector)
that connects to the PC using 5(GND),2(Rx) and 3(Tx) pins, and the other end to kindle touch.

otherwise, if you has not got a serial port in your pc you can use a USB to Serial port adapter as TTL-232RG-VREG1V8-WE cable adapter.
Question for everyone: my assertion is true?
