My Kindle Touch will not start Diags mode.

I have followed the instructions in both this thread and the Original "Simple" debricking thread.

I can do the following:
- Start in USB Downloader mode
- Set the Kindle to Fastboot mode
- Flash the diags partition

But when the device reboots, the diags interface does not appear. The screen goes blank as the device reboots, but the only image that comes up is the Kindle screen with the boy under the tree.

On windows I can use the MfgTool and I see the Kindle turn up. Choosing the Diags boot here does the same thing: Reboots the kindle, same screen.

I've tried downloading the kt_5.0.1-mmcblk0p2_diags+ssh.img.gz file from http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images.php, and used fastboot to flash the diags partition manually:
./fastboot flash diags kt_5.0.1-mmcblk0p2_diags+ssh.img

fastboot confirms the operation, but a reboot still results in the same screen.

Am I flashing the wrong thing somehow? Using the wrong image?
