So here's my case:
1. When I first realized my kindle wasn't opening KUAL I was on the middle of a 5-day road trip with no internet signal, so I couldn't get instructions properly;
2. Since I didn't know it was just a matter of reinstalling the files (actually I kinda knew, but without internet I wasn't able to get the step-by-step instructions to do so), I tried full reset before finding out the ".bin disappearing" issue wasn't related to a corrupt file I had downloaded or anything like that;
3. So here's the question I couldn't find the answer for: considering my PW3 was jailbroken before, but I did a full reset after the update, is there any chance I can re-jailbreak it, without having the backup for the KUAL/MrPI/etc files and folders?

Thanks in advance!
3) The long answer, quoted from Step #2 of the directions, which you did read, didn't you?
Quote:
This is the ONLY TIME you should ever use the Reset menu entry in the lifetime of the device because it wipes out the jail break survival code that is about to be added in step 6 below.
NEVER AGAIN USE THE "Reset" MENU ENTRY. Never, ever, unless you intended to wipe out the jailbreak survival code. Which you really, really, need.
3) TL;DR: No
You are now S.O.L.

Except:
If you rebooted (re-started, not reset) the Kindle AFTER installing the Amazon update and BEFORE pressing the "Never Touch This Button", button but did not mention it above.

If you did, then the device is still jail broken, you would have seen the: **Bridge+** message when it was first rebooted.

But:
You are posting in the wrong forum.
Try the correct forum and correct thread, somebody over there will help you.
(Some of the mod's here do not like to read: "jail break" in the main forum. )
