Angry kindle paperwhite serial port recovery error

Hey guys,

Yesterday, I tried to unbrick my kindle paperwhite (frozen in the tree scene) using serial port connection.

At first, I entered the recovery menu,
1. entered "E. Export FAT partition" and copied a update_kindle_5.3.1.bin file to kindle,
2. selected "1" to return to recovery menu,
3. U. Update using update*.bin file on FAT partition

It appeared that the update process went quite well. When I re-started kindle, still the same problem.

Then I did something very stupid:
Step 1. "4. Erase MMC0" (I didn't read this thread before, in this thread knc1 said DO NOT try option 3 or 4),
Step 2. "I. Initialize Partition Table (fdisk) and format FAT",
Step 3. "E. Export FAT partition" and copied a update_kindle_5.3.1.bin file to kindle,
Step 4. "U. Update using update*.bin file on FAT partition"

Now the problem still exists, and I can't enter the recovery menu. The info in the terminal window has been attached. And I couldn't even enter any letters.

It might to copy a main kernel image to the mmc (according to geekmaster here), but I don't how to do this.

Would you mind giving me some tips?
P.S. I used serial port connection, please provide some solutions using this method. Thanks.

Regards,
lzsph
