By the way - Thanks a lot.
I have learned:
1) I should have asked for your device's model at first reply.
2) There is something funky about that factory install package, it should not have touched mmcblk0p2 (diags).
Maybe it changed the partition boundaries.
3) I should have asked you to keep a complete capture log of that update process (it would have told us what was happening).
4) That update package can 'downgrade' a series 5 kindle -
previously thought to be impossible.
We will have to look into that, now we see that it can be done.

The problem is not the battery, but leave it on a wall charger anyway.
No indications that the flash chip has gone bad.
Not the touch screen - because you can use the touch screen for the Recovery Menu.
That factory install replaced the ('main' OS) u-boot, uImage (kernel/initramfs), and file system (mmcblk0p1).
That is pretty much everything, except ...
There is some device and personal local information stored outside of the partitioned area.
We may have to look for the problem source there.
Perhaps the traces left behind on USB, user storage will give me an idea or two.
Right now I can't think of why it is not working.
When you opened it up and put the serial port connections on it - -
I assume you looked at it - did you notice any signes that it had been worked on before?
Right now: Duh....
