I don't know why, my mind farted, I thought I'd read somewhere that Branch Delay's jailbreak was called "the universal jailbreak".
I checked my firmware in device info and I had 5.8.0. That is already the same version as the factory firmware, but nonetheless I reset it and followed step 3 and 4.
I put the archive named "main-htmlviewer.tar.gz" at the top of the tree ( at least of what can be accessed from usb ), went to home, typed ";installHtml" in the search bar and hit return.
The screen flashed, went back to home, I didn't get the "You are jailbroken" document.
EDIT: I'd be glad to give more info, but atm I don't know how to be more detailed than this

Yup, you screwed up.
The significance of the firmware image that you install is the fact that it is for in-factory, on production line, testing.
Any difference or similarity in version number is non-significant.
One of the differences between consumer and factory firmware images is that consumer firmware build does not include the ";installHtml" feature. Which you have just confirmed for yourself.
The only reason we install the factory initial firmware build is because it contains that command.
NOW:
Start at top of post, with "Step 0", then follow each of the instructions, exactly, in-order, no shortcuts allowed.
Just "do it" - even if you think you don't have to, just do it.
I didn't write all of those directions because I like to hear my keyboard click.
