Can someone please help me out?
(this probably is asked a lot and you guys are probably annoyed to ask the same question but I couldnt find the jailbreak FAQ)
I also want to thank you guys that made it possible for me to jailbreak my kindle, without you I couldnt  .  |
Well, you have seen and read it already, although you may not have realized it.
Top post, second sentence.
This is a technical forum and technical people tend to be very (very, very, ... ) literal.
Translation of 2nd sentence:
The jail break survives the update to 5.8.8 (and everything not mentioned, does not survive the update). Only the jail break is mentioned, and that is the only thing that survives.
That is all there is to the Jail Break FAQ / FGA .
Another translation:
Entirely normal, re-install everything that is in a package with the name format of: update_*.bin plus anything else that seems broken.
(The "hotfix" is an exception, it IS the bridge code, and the bridge code does auto-reinstall itself when it auto-reinstalls the jailbreak. It is a "good" Kindle virus.)

I guess it could be said that you do not **install** a Kindle jail break, you **infect** the Kindle with our jail break.

My KT3 is still running the old firmware I had on it when I installed the OTA blocker directory described in Step #7 (hint).
