Yes, that looks like what I did after I accidentally killed my K4 idme vars, back before we had any realistic debricking methods. I used MfgTool to upload and run my custom u-boot image.
Notice how I replaced significant portions of your identifying info with 'xx'? That is to prevent somebody else from using your identifying info, and buying stuff using your kindle account, or eventually getting your kindle blacklisted (like what happened to
twobob's wife's DXG when he published too much information).
You should edit your post like I did (assuming your info was not fictitious to begin with)...
And just for educational purposes, a kindle cannot boot with corrupt idme info, because it needs that to determine HOW to initialize internal SD-RAM before it can continue. You can see that in the u-boot source code. However, it is nice to know that the u-boot images I prepared to temporarily set the idme bootmode var (still used in kubrick) worked on all the kindles with a "magic key", specifically BECAUSE of using the idme PCBSN to decide how to init SD-RAM...
