I installed the jailbreak and usbnetwork without problem. In Mac Terminal via ssh root@192.168.15.244 and idme -d --serial B023170123760047 I managed a serial change. As you might think no luck with Amazon since the number is a typo... But PW is still working.
Then I foolishly wanted to make a quick cleanup and performed a factory reset.
PW still works i.e. I can still sideload books and read them. However I do not have USB root access nor can I apply any other hacks...
I can live with that however would be nice to have it back.
Hope this sheds some light to my wrongdoings.

It is only the factory reset that killed your add-ins.
Not the serial number change.
The serial number change only locked you out of the PW1 update_*.bin files (since B023 is a K4).
So just take the KindleTool and in the source, swap the locations of B023 and B024 in the code, re-compile.
If I recall correctly, everything you need is in the KindleTool package.
Then use your modified KindleTool to open the USBnet update_*.bin file for the PW1 and then re-create the package specifying the transposed K4 names.
The device Jailbreak is not in an "update_*.bin" style package, but you may have to do some model number swapping in it just the same.
Take everything from the "NiLuJe's snapshots" thread.
(Including the cross-compiler)
Directions for everything are in the packages and/or in our wiki.

PS: Just changing the serial number is not enough to get Amazon to accept your device.
