I hope this thread did go in the right topic and is not a duplicate.
There is no way to turn off USB Downloader mode, so to prevent it from being debricked with MfgTool, you need a hardware solution.

I think that the quickest and easiest way to brick a kindle forever is to cook it in a microwave oven until it releases its "magic smoke".

I hope that you are doing this to your own kindle, rather that one belonging to somebody you want to seriously irritate.

EDIT: I think that this thread was created 10 days late.

UPDATE: Be aware, though, that this procedure may void the warranty on your kindle.
