There should be a way you can change the device version, since there are "normal" failure paths that could result in it being missing or corrupted.

While it is true that the "Androidized" Kindles do not have a dedicated "Diags" partition (they are no longer "dual boot") the "Diags" features have been moved into the InitRamFS - One of the reasons for the increase in ram and flash.

I don't see where you posted the listing outputs of u-boot features or variables, nor where you check if the "advanced (bist)" u-boot was available from the initial (boot time) build of u-boot.

Also, the Android staged bootloader is present, you might try accessing it.

On responding to the prompts - -
You do not have to be fast, they are "Chicago voter" style prompts - -
Press early, hold for many repeats until your man wins.
