What serial adapter are you using? If it has a TX LED on it, you may need to remove that (or replace it with a suitable pull-up resistor) because the kindle TX pin cannot sink enough current to pull an LED-connected wire down to a logic zero (as described in my
level-shifter thread).
And BTW, "SE Blank <xxx>" is typically known here is "USB downloader mode", so you may need a modern version of "MfgTool" (or other usb downloader tool) to flash your firmware. This mode does not
use the serial port, as I understand it. It was probably triggered by a failed firmware update, so your firmware is now corrupted. This can be caused by updating the firmware on a kindle with a low battery (which depletes before completion).
Also, "eMMC destroyed" implies a hardware failure, when it is probably just the contents that are corrupted (due to incomplete firmware update), not the physical device.
