I did not do any testing for eMMC, I execute 'fastboot.exe pass' to change the Led, but not work,
Use the various u-boot features to test if the eMMC can be written.
Keep in mind there are two u-boot builds installed.
The initial one and the one you enter by the 'bist' command.
They have different command line features available.

From all of the things you have tried, it is likely that the error message is correct.
Doubly likely if the battery ran down while the Kindle was executing 'erase all' and its related write activity.

Losing power during one of the eMMC's internal erase, write cycles corrupts its internal controller code.
Making the device only good for the scrap value of the beach sand (silicon) it contains.

There is a thread here on how to replace the eMMC chip.
