I don't think it's a good idea to have both yifanlu's latest jailbreak and Updates Provider hack installed at the same time.
Both hacks shuffle the keys and they could conflict.

Either uninstall the jailbreak after installing Updates Provider hack or more preferably install an older version of yifanlu's jailbreak that is able to prevent Amazon updates (0.3) or install NiLuJe's jailbreak.

To sum it up, if I were you, I would just install NiLuJe's latest jailbreak or yifanlu's old jailbreak 0.3 and create an empty file ENABLE_HACK_UPDATES in the root of the user store. That should block any official updates from Amazon. Then I would install disable-autoupdates to prevent Kindle from even _trying_ to install downloaded update while being idle (as that would fail anyway).
