Sort of . . .
There just isn't any support for that model.

What does that mean?
I thought no one would ever ask . . .

All packages with the name format of: update_*.bin are 'model locked' and signed.
I.E: You can't edit them to make them install on a model they where not packaged for.

The one and only person that maintains our packaging tool is away from the forum, attending school.
So there is, at the moment, no one to edit and re-build KindleTool and then use that updated KindleTool to repackage everything.

Your answer:
I would suggest instead that you add the 'blocker directory' name as described in Step #7 at the top of visible USB storage to keep it from updating until we can support that model.

As best that we know, 5.8.7.0.1 can not defeat the 'blocker directory' means of preventing OTA updates.

PS:
I added your model and its description to the table.
Thanks for the new model report.
