i did so is there a chance ??installed the hotfix after jailbreak . and then factory reset my device and updated to 5.7.2 is there a chance???
If you factory reset and then applied a firmware update, it doesn't matter what state your device was in, it is no longer jailbroken.

The factory reset wiped the jailbreak and required manual intervention to repair, and the firmware update deleted the last failsafe that would have allowed you to repair the jailbreak.

...

I don't know why this is so hard for people to intuit (maybe they are too used to Android or something? Either way, why not ask before doing mysterious things???).

DO NOT FACTORY RESET! EVER!
Not unless your Kindle is seriously messed up to begin with and someone here advises you to do a factory reset as part of a debricking procedure.
