1. Serial begins with G090G1, matched to my device;
2. When the installing process finished, its screen was splited into three parts: one occupies about 1/3 screen on the left side, frozen with the tree picture, the other occupies about 1/5 screen on the bottom of the right part, frozen with some lines, the part occupies the top right corner is the only part that response to me, which stays on the needs-repair screen after every rebooting.
3. When I connect it to my PC, the device reboots automatically and an empty volume appears in "This PC" which says "please insert a disk" and cannot be accessed. When I connect it to my Mac, nothing happens on the computer while the device still reboots automatically.
I have read many replies in the previous pages but can't find a solution to this problem. Can anyone give a solution? Thanks!

Link please.
Also, where did you find directions telling you to use factory-5.6.1.1?
Link please.
A completely expected result, you will have to de-brick it over the serial port.

As knc1 said.
The PW3 5.6.1.1 factory image is known to brick some Kindles. That is why it was withdrawn and the instructions amended to use a safer version.
If you, regrettably, used instructions that did not come from this thread, and the alternative instructions have not been updated properly (not uncommon, and we cannot ensure their accuracy hence our advice to always use this thread), then you have caused your Kindle considerable, though not irreparable, damage.
Follow the Master Index sticky to the "simple debricking" instructions and/or the recent firmware 5.6.x serial port jailbreak instructions, for guidance on opening up the hardware and manually restoring a working firmware.
