Kindle Touch bricked with write-protected flash

Hi everybody,

I have a KT which bricked after rechargin from depleted battery.

Synptoms are the TREE screen (withouth progress bar) and after a minute followed by blank/black flashing screen to the TREE screen and so on.

I can switch between fastboot/diags modes using MfgTool, but fastboot flashing or even erasing has no effect. In fact (by switching to diags mode and activating USB Mass Storage Device) even an erased user partition shows the old data. Even FORMATTING and FILLING USB MSD has no effect, the old data is somehow recovered after rebooting the KT!!!

Not mentioning SSH, which returns 'connection refused' (after 30s) even after flashing mmcblk0p2_ssh.img!!!

Also, activating the MOVINAND test in DIAGS mode returns FAIL (but maybe it fails even in non-bricked kindles).

Any help greately appreciated, thank you
