WOW! I'm flabbergasted - what you got there is some sort of internal development tool!
I have tried to start it up and I think you should try again, too:
All you have to do is turn off the device & connect it to your PC. Then hold both page turn buttons and press power for three seconds. Note: you won't see any change on the ereader screen, but the device should show up on your PC's USB connections as something like "Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. SE Blank MEGREZ". Then you should be able to use their tool, whatever it does exactly. Obviously, I haven't pressed "Start" in the tool since I'm afraid it might wipe my data. You might as well try though before you send it in. I'm not even sure whether this is a rooting tool, but thanks to WithACee we now also know how to root the little critter ourselves, which I will definitely try soon as well
For all it's worth: with this kind of low-level access to the device I'm now completely happy, so your bricking mishap helped at least one person
So thank you so much for sharing the files!
And of course, please let us know how this works for you...

Edit: haven't even begun to understand all you can do with that tool, but here you can find the official documentation:

Edit2: if you want to know what the start-button in the tool does, take a look at ucl2.xml. From a first look and since this is the manufacturing tool for the device, I conclude that it will re-flash the device, i.e. do a complete factory reset and format all partitions, so you _will_ lose your data. If the device doesn't work afterwards, your hardware is broken. I don't see that this tool roots the devices, though.
