Can I do the steps again, this time doing the reset? I'm currently at 5.5 firmware.

Thanks again for your help.
Do not panic, you are almost done.
Step #7 - Choose which customer firmware you want to use and install it same as any other Amazon update.
You MUST replace the firmware that is currently on your KV. That build was intended only to be used inside of the factory for production QA purposes.
Or in this case, to install the jailbreak.
Most of our things here will not work on the factory testing build, they are all intended only to work on the customer firmware builds.

And then:

Step #8 - Open the spoiler, that is where you install MrPI (which creates /mrpackages) and KUAL.
Note the special directions for the 8th generation devices (yours).

Do not press "Reset"
A very bad thing to do at this point.

If you update to 5.8.7 - then you will most likely only be able to use the booklet form of KUAL.
