Beware that some modes like USB Downloader mode or diags mode may completely discharge your battery. Like always, fully charge your kindle before using these tools to recover it.
It is strange that MfgTool says success -- that has always meant the kindle switched modes, in my experience. Removing the USB cable can drop it out of fastboot mode (on kindles I used) so perhaps you have a flaky USB cable or loose jack on your kindle? To remedy a loose USB jack (on one of my kindles) I tuck the USB cable under it to flex the cable near the jack, forcing in good contact on the pins inside. Switching to a different cable may force USB pin alignment as well (different tolerances).
When windows recognizes your kindle, look in Device Manager at hard drives -- see the size of the kindle device. If 0MB, it is in battery charge mode, and you must charge the battery first.

Hi!
First of all thanks for your fast reply!
I am currently recharging right now, just to be sure that battery is ok....
My PC is a Windows Machine, yes.
But KUBRICK also failed.
RNDIS driver I can't install, because windows finds no device that needs them.
I tried this on a second machine now. (also windows 7)
It's the same there. I thought maybe on this other machine (a quite fresh win7 install) it will work. But no.
How will a half bricked kindle show up in the device list? only in the HID section, like on my PC, or also somewhere else?
In hd section there is nothing. setting the kindle to diags mode doesn't change anything...
In Kubrick: entering fastboot doesn't work. I there a way to get some errors
or use the tools manually in a second console in kubrick?
Is there a list of commands I can enter in kubrick, to do all steps manually? This way I would get some responses and errors that would help....
