Help recovering kindle paperwhite after 'eraseall'

Hi all,

It is my first post in this forum. I can't find any good information on kindle paperwhite anywhere else.
I was trying to debrick the device and some image flashing went wrong, so after reboot for some very not wise reason I entered 'eraseall' command which without any confirmation wiped out everything from the device. All partitions. Now if I connect device to USB port on my linux I can see only:

Code:

[ 2559.969903] usb 1-2: new low-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[ 2560.100814] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1949, idProduct=dead
[ 2560.100821] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=1, SerialNumber=0
[ 2560.100824] usb 1-2: Product: USB Charger
[ 2560.126950] input: USB Charger  as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/0003:1949:DEAD.0005/input/input20
[ 2560.127232] hid-generic 0003:1949:DEAD.0005: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11 Device [USB Charger ] on usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input0
[ 2561.539633] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, device number 2

I'm most worried about DEAD part. I've seen that it is possible to flash back fastboot on devices with mx50, mx51 and so on, but nothing regarding paperwhite.
Also, I have (had) access to serial port and it was ok. The bad thing is that I haven't made any backups of serial numbers or whatsoever.
Is there any chance to restore fastboot on this device? The rest I can handle as there is plenty of information.
