This is to try to find out if your kindle is falling into USB download mode, like that poster.

That is the thread I had in mind.
I think it is the only one about changing the eMMC device that we have.

And if it does not fail into USB downloader mode - then we could use the manual memory modification command(s) to destroy the installed u-boot so that it does fall into USB downloader mode.
MAYBE - u-boot is stored in a special, hardware protected, memory area.
I am not sure if the u-boot commands are allowed to make changes in that area.
(u-boot in storage is checksum'd all we should have to do is make the checksum fail.)
