Thanks for getting back to me.
So my KT is not detected by any computer in any way. The light on the device turns on (orange) and that's about it.
I have tried with Kubrick, but ran into issue after issue
1. first, my ISP blocks these specific download pages (this should be illegal). I got around this using proxy.
2. Then, booting up Kubric resulted in the infamous "Missing required Java files. Kubrick will not work." error (I use USB stick). This was solved by kmc76 in another topic ("
instead of "POWEROFF" I typed "EXIT" and lo and behold Kubrick started"), which allowed me to put the Kindle into download mode.
3. lastly, I hit the same fastboot wall as AlexPatridge: ("Besides being able to get it into recovery mode I get absolutely nothing from the device. I cannot get it into fastboot mode, nor can I boot the diagnostics tools either. Kubrick sits at the 'Waiting for device...' prompt on the fastboot screen")
I have no idea what to do with this now... I got hopeful when it was recognized by Kubrick and I was able to put it in download mode, but now I am lost...
Might be the same case as Alex's, that this Kindle is beyond saving?

TLDR: my KT won't go into fastboot mode.
