Unbricked PW3 successfully, now I don't have diags

Howdy,

This starts when I was trying to downgrade my Paperwhite 3 (Non JB- FW 5.8.9.0.1 from factory, upgraded to FW 5.9.2.0.1 via Kindle update) via the serial port.

In this process I erased MMC0 by mistake and naturally ended up with a hard bricked kindle.

In the shining light of this I figured out how to successfully unbrick and downgrade my firmware, and now have a functioning Kindle again at FW 5.8.2.

Now my issue is that I cannot get in to diags, it seems that even though I've successfully flashed the firmware, I think I am missing the DIAGs partition.

Trying to bootm 0xE4100 doesn,t work, giving an error that uboot can't get kernal image, and chucking the ENABLE_DIAGS on the root of the /mnt/us directory and rebooting just boots normally.

I have tried flashing multiple firmware versions, as well as flashing an older firmware, then updating to a newer one, and while they all work, none of them seem to re-write the diag partition.

I'm kind of stuck here, a nod in the right direction would be apreciated
