I just used your data.tar.gz and sample RUNME.sh and Kindle recovered.
Thanks

You may have had a /var/local/mntusb.params file that was not compatible with your kindle version. My data.tar.gz replaced it with a mntus.params that is compatible with all the kindle versions that I have tested it with (DX, DXG, K3, K4 and Touch). The data.tar.gz only works on K4 and Touch, so you need an alternate way to deploy mntus.params on other kindle versions.
I am glad it helped you.
To EVERYBODY reading this thread: Remember, each kindle bricking problem is different, and my tools may not fix your problem, but may give you what you need to fix it yourself (if you know how to explore and repair with a RUNME.sh file). Of course, it gives you the power to make things worse if you have a bug in your RUNME.sh file, so be careful. Be extremely careful if your script deletes RUNME.done, because mntus.params runs twice during startup, and again at shutdown, and again when some scripts run. It needs a way to prevent an infinite boot loop, or hanging during startup. It is safer to make it only run one time and stop, like the sample RUNME.sh does. You can manually delete RUNME.done to run it again on the next boot.
