Hi, sorry for taking your time.
I am completely stuck with fixing my bricked PW.
I got my device shortly after release and installed Duokan. I can't recall what and how I did it but everything worked fine for years. After uploading new E-Books from my Smartphone over OTG my Kindle crashed and nothing was working. I connected it to a Serial console and noticed the file system got somehow corrupted. (broken file paths, weird characters and stuff like that).
In a debrick guide I found with google someone used
Code:
I. Initialize Partition Table (fdisk) and format FAT
O. Format and overwrite FAT partition
before writing the new firmware on the Kindle.
After that step I had no more file system errors cause I formated it. Then I connected my PW to my PC copied a fresh update package from Amazon on the Storage and installed it with
Code:
U. Update using update*.bin file on FAT partition
every thing worked fine, the update got installed but after a reboot I'm stuck with the following serial output:
Code:

I can't boot regular and I can't enter DIAGS Mode so I think I did something very stupid I didn't notice or something went not as expected.
Thanks in advance

P.S. sorry for my bad english. It's not my main language.
