I'm currently stuck at step 6, implementing the "hotfix". I successfully ran Branch Delay's factory root and downloaded JailBreak-1.14.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.bin onto my Kindle KT2 (running factory 5.6.0). However, when I eject the Kindle it complains that "An invalid update file has been uploaded on your device".

I've only ever had this error when I've tried to use a bin file from the wrong firmware. Searching through the posts it looks like the hotfix came about due to silent OTA updates to 5.6.5 (I was a victim back then too). Does this mean the hotfix can only be applied to 5.6.5 firmware? If so, it isn't that obvious on the first post.
