Also, since my kindle was unrooted and I don't know exactly which software is currently installed/installing, do you have any input on which version I should be installing since I'm now planning on rooting the device to ensure no further update issues?
Thanks again

Mostly no.
I would rather see what messages are generated by a device boot before deciding what should follow.
While waiting for the jm.ftx board - -
A PW-2 is still relatively new, I do not expect hardware failure.
But the 9017 is the first (non-Japanese) 4Gbyte device.
The Amazon customer updates **SHOULD BE** model locked, but this sounds like a 4Gbyte PW-2 trying to install the firmware for a 2Gbyte PW-2.
Now if you where using one of our PW-2 factory images, those are not model locked, but the only one we have posted is a version that **SHOULD** run either storage size PW-2.
But those are only speculation - let us see what messages are produced during a "from power off" boot sequence.
