Unbrick a Kindle PW3 7th Generation

Hi guys,

This is my first post, and it's because one day after charging my discharged Kindle PW3 7th generation it started with an infinity loop reboot like this video:

Well, I start searching in Internet about the problem and after trying Amazon Support without result, I found the next video with steps for flashing the device:

After a lot of work, I got access to the debug mode from the device, but I did the same mistake as MADMAXXX from this old post (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=269099) choosing the "Erase All" command in the recovery menu .

The situation is the next, I'm capable to access to the fastboot mode (uboot > bist fastboot) and transfer the files uImage and the rootfs.img (obtained from the last update file from Amazon with kindletool) to the device, but it doesn's work, the device can't load the recovery menu because I think the diags images doesn't exist.

The question is, exist a solution for the problem or my best option is buy a new device?

Regards.

PD: Sorry about my bad English.
