Fully successful on a PW5 Signature Edition running 5.15.1

Had some slight deviation from the instructions. As others have said, the usb connection after the demo reboot is very quick. I had missed that window the first time, and just started again from the beginning.

After I successfully connected the usb again and copied the files over again at the power screen, when it booted, it booted back into Chinese Demo mode.

Navigated through and used Google translate on my phone to find the Resell button.
Ran the hotfix after that step. Booted into normal English mode.

Was able to install KUAL and got KOReader installed as well.
Now just need to find how to stop updates. I'd like to keep wireless enabled so I can use OPDS.

Edit: So apparently the renameotabin extension still works as it did before (at least on 5.15.1). So far no updates and I have been online for a while now.
