I just wanted to thank you guys for documenting this so well.

My mother-in-law had a PW3 (with 3G) that wouldn't boot past the 'boy under the tree' page. I couldn't get the FAT32 partition to mount at all - it'd show up as an empty drive when the kindle was flat.
I had run out of options other than the serial route. Amazon support of course had given up.

Today I went down the serial rabbit hole and like and idiot, wiped the whole MMC straight away (high 5!).

But... following this thread - I now have it back up and running.
