Most bricked kindles do not need reflashing. It is just the root partition that is damaged, so you should still be able to boot to diags mode if you can just get it there. You should not need to go into fastboot mode or use the fastboot tool.
I will provide a custom u-boot that forces diag mode. Then the next reboot should enter the diagnostics menu. In diagnostics mode you can also run a runme.sh script using a variation of the ixtab jailbreak.
I will provide a package to do these things very soon.
