No fix needed, so installed KUAL and MRPI, tested, worked, then updated to firmware 5.8.5.
Now, KUAL does not work anymore, although the hack's description said it would be persistent throughout further firmware updates - "Application Error. The selected application could not be started. Please try again."

Can anybody help?
So install the 'hotfix', it is what contains the code which makes the jb (and a few other things - like MKK, which from the error message you are missing) persistent.

Step #6 - labeled "jailbreak survival code"

It should have been installed as part of the directions you followed, but it will not hurt to re-install the newest one (which that link points to).

You didn't mention WHEN you used the current directions -
They where very recently edited to make it clear that you only skip steps #5 and #6 but are suppose to return to the first thread and complete steps #7 and #8.
