My steps:
  1. Jailbreak on 5.6.5
  2. Installed various hacks after KUAL (screensaver, battery stats, koreader, fonts, etc.)
  3. upgrade to 5.7.2.1
At the moment I have KUAL, KOreader, Leafpad Morris and Fonts, other hacks already removed.
I am not able to uninstall fonts hack using "Update_linkfonts_0.13.N_uninstall.bin" with MR packages.

I don't know why, my problem is now fonts hack uninstall
Maybe I can try to install again, then uninstall the hack?
KUAL, KOReader, Leafpad, etc. are not update_*.bin hacks, they are userstore Active Content plus extensions.
Yes they survived.


**This hack** installs stuff to the rootfs.
When you upgraded to 5.7.2.1 the device partition was overwritten. NOTHING survives that.

Once again, what makes you think the fonthack is still installed?

...

Yes, if you install the hack you should then be able to uninstall it.
