What our "jail break" does is enable a person to install our packages (in addition to Amazon's).
Get the most recent test package version:

Hint: Title (in "Touch" section) contains "dummy test..." in the package name.

You don't mention what firmware version your Kindle is running so I can't tell you if you have to use our MrPI to install it or if you can use UYK.
So try both.

Also capture the current system logs to a document, and read them to determine why the restarts are happening.
(Search bar command: ;dm The semi-colon is part of the command).
If the log files don't make any sense to you, use the "go advanced" button on this reply text box and use the "manage attachments" section to attach the log documents.

Note:
Your description shows that you are having trouble running the "main" system (touch devices are dual-boot).
And Fastboot for Kindle can not transfer the "main" system image file, it is too big.
So I don't know where you got the idea that you could install the "main" system image file with fastboot.

When/If the above does not show you what needs fixing, boot the alternate ("diags") system and check how it runs.
(If you find the "Erase (all)" diags option DO NOT TRY IT - It does work, it does what it says, you may well be screwed after trying it.)
