Long story short:
- I installed 5.6.5 Jailbreak + bridge, PW3 G090G105 UK English, used simpler jb method from this post
- Installed KUAL, Vlasovsoft, RescuePack and Coward's Rescue Pack Addon from NiLuJe's hacks page. All good for couple of days.
- Wanting to sell the Kindle, so I UNREGISTERED it....
- Got "you device is no longer a test Kindle..." message
- Tried to re-apply Jailbreak. All steps went fine, but "Jailbreak failed" message in the end
- I did factory reset to get clean 5.6.5 FW
- Tried to re-apply Jailbreak, again. 3 times. All steps went fine, but "Jailbreak failed" message in the end

What now? Can it be Rescue pack interfering with JB install?

UPDATE:
All fixed. Tried JB many times to no avail. Re-downloaded update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.6.5.bin firmware file from Amazon's website and installed. All up and running :-)
