But now itīs more trickky. I have the same issue like Mo5214, after my battery was in critical state. I "unbrick" my kindle with kubrick and other tips and tricks i read in this and other forums.
My Kindly is alive but not usable, it only boots to diags menu. Even, when i say it should start in main mode. (with MfgTool or ssh)
I made all trys like Mo5214.
After every reboot, all data are restored. I could flash the kindle in fastboot mode. I can delete all files on /mnt/us, but after reboot all "old" files are already there.
Even i formatted /dev/mmcblk0p4 all files were restored.

Interesting is, when i call "dmesg" the system date is the "min date" 01 Jan 1970.
Last write access on the USB Device in the kindle was 2015-11-01, but actually not from me. I didnīt used it long time ago. (therefore the critical battery state issue and the "unbricking" session)

I also hope someone could help us. Meanwhile I think itīs an hardware issue, like storage controller or something.

Use drop-down prefix filter to select "tutorial", click "show threads".

There you will find the FGA list, in your case:

Good guess, it is the storage controller that is dead.
The bad news, its grown into the silicon of the eMMC chip and can only be repaired by replacing the entire chip (and on a K4, not worth the effort or price, buy a KT-2).
