This was a reply to an user that performed only the reset in his device and sent it back to Amazon. This user hinted that he actually was going to receive a replacement the same day (which would mean he "fooled" them just with that), but I don't think we can know for sure since he did not report back.

Step #2 of the instructions tells you just what 'reset' does, read it.
The "survival code" that bridges the jb certificate across updates lives in the 'not visible to user' user area, which you just erased with 'reset'.
Now the only thing(s) left that are different from what Amazon intended in the system image is our signature certificate (also called the "jailbreak").
It is about 250 bytes, they will never notice it, or if they do, they have never refused service because of it.
NOTE:
Pressing 'reset' does not remove our signature certificate!
That means the device is still "jailbroken".
If you
DO NOT install an update image, you can restore the "survival code" by installing the package with MrPI (after you reinstall MrPI, KUAL, ...).
