I thought the part responsible for mounting the partition to the USB was only loaded when fully booted; how'd I get the update.bin on there?
The K5 devices are "dual boot" machines.

From your post, you have only trashed one of the two systems.
Once the second ("Diags") system is "fully booted", you will find menu entries for this sort of thing.

You can "just reflash the image" - but since it is encoded and signed, best that you let the system updater routine do it for you.

Your first challenge will be to get the serial port adapter connected giving access to u-boot.

That will give you access to setting which system gets booted.
Similar to using the "ENABLE_DIAGS" flag filename.

Then once you have booted into "Diags" system, you will find menu entries that allow you to export user storage (so you can place Amazon image file there), and menu entries that will let you "update from user storage" (or words to that effect).
