Most notably, will previous jailbreaks still work on a "fresh" KT 5.0.4 which DID NOT have the jailbreak installed before the update?
From what I've read so far, if the Kindle had been jailbroken *before* the update, the jailbreak will persist (=survive the update). The same is true for the localization (again, as far as I know).
Any information is welcome... thanks!

I updated last night. I did partition dumps before, halfway through, and after.
The first update deposited a payload.bin file on the USB Drive, and another reboot runs that one with a slightly different screen that says 2/2 on it.
The reason I was able to capture it between the two reboots is that I had an ENABLE_DIAGS on my usb drive, and I used SSH from diags "Enable USBnet" menu.
After the update, the data.tar.gz "bug" still works, as I posted on the IRC last night. That means that amazon obviously WANTS us doing this stuff, right?
Somebody on IRC last night mentioned that the md5sum of almost all files changed, and kernel changes too.
Personally, I think that second install.bin file was for the diags partition, because it was almost exactly the same size as my mmcblk0p2.img.gz file...
